An evening of profound emotional extremes awaits you in this exquisite baroque programme.Experience the radiant joy of Vivaldi's uplifting motets "Ascende laeta", a jubilant celebration of the soul's ascent, and "Sum in medio tempestatum", a powerful cry amid life's storms — both bursting with the composer's signature vitality and brilliance.
Then, surrender to the heart-wrenching sorrow of Pergolesi's immortal Stabat Mater, one of the most moving meditations on the Virgin Mary's suffering ever written, its tender melodies cutting straight to the soul.
Here, in a single unforgettable concert, you will journey from celestial ecstasy to piercing agony and back again — pure baroque intensity brought to life.
