Passionate, unreachable, gentle, sad, painful. The songs of this concert will tell about love through poems and stories from ancient Greece. The works are intertwined not only through the theme of love, but also through the versatile use of the singing: in addition to traditional choir, you can hear whispers, speech, vocals and various other effects. The austere and beautiful shades change according to the words and moods, creating a magical and unique combination.
