The new concert series of contemporary sacred music “Methanoia” introduces modern music that is directly connected with the inner life, spirituality, and eternity of people in our time. In Greek, “methanoia” means repentance or a change of mind. The exceptional repertoire chosen for the concert series points to the question of whether and how music can change a person internally. This meditative concert is dedicated to the beloved composer Arvo Pärt on his 90th anniversary.
