Passio

Arvo Pärt's Passio, one of the most important works of sacred music of the 20th century, was performed in a unique performance in Freiberg Cathedral. This touching, contemplative piece invited the audience to break away from the usual drama of Passion music and immerse themselves in Pärt's calm, simple tonal language. His music flowed like a calm, spiritual stream and carried the listeners along for an hour. Without great drama, but in its simple beauty, it touched deeply and brought peace.

The music was accompanied by a Lenten cloth by artist Michael Morgner, which covered the altar and also served as a stage set for the Passion. The combination of Morgner's art and Pärt's music in the 500-year-old historic church space created a special, unforgettable atmosphere.
