essay via crucis
"imagine an encounter between 2 men from the 17th and 18th century and 3 women from the 21st century, telling each other their version of the passion story"
This concert forms a penetrating musical web that brings thought and reflection, with the power of the voice and of the woman as the guiding thread.
Membra Jesu Nostri by Buxtehude is a cycle of seven cantatas that sing of the body of the crucified Christ. The female composers Caroline Shaw and Anna Thorvaldsdottir have each written a contemporary response to the movements of the Membra Jesu Nostri – from a female perspective.
