Dalmatica is dialogue in a pilgrimage between Advent and Easter, between two refined ensembles full of beautiful vocal force: men’s ensemble performing Glagolitic chant in church Slavonic language, and the women’s ensemble performing in Latin. These chants have crossed centuries: they exude sunshine and a potent vocality where East and West dialogue in unity.

Concerto, Reinhard Kriechbaum, January-March 2022
