Concert agency Corelli Music continues presenting beautiful thematic music of the church year in the concert series „Church Holidays in the Land of Mary“. This time the focus is on Lent season, starting from February 10th and ending on March 20th – beginning of Holy Week and Palm Sunday. Time of Lent is time for contemplation and remembering those who have suffered in vain. The AGNUS DEI concerts in March coincide with bombing of Estonia in World War II. In 1942-1944 many cities of the Land of Mary were heavily damaged and many innocent people killed. The worst were March bombing nights of 1944 in Narva (March 6-7), Tallinn (March 9-10) and Tartu (March 25-26). Architectural pearls like the old baroque town of Narva, Stone bridge and theater Vanemuine of Tartu, parts of Tallinn old town and city center were destroyed beyond repair.
At commemoration concerts of March bombing Ivo Posti – a countertenor with a mystical voice – will perform together with the baroque ensemble Corelli Consort on period instruments. They will perform baroque masterpieces, such as „Agnus Dei“ from Bach’s Mass in B minor, arias from St. Matthew Passion and Christmas Oratorio, Vivaldi „Stabat Mater“, a.o. In addition to vocal music appropriate Passion time instrumental pieces will be performed. Memorial concerts are supported by Narva and Tartu City Government, SA Museum of Narva, Tallinn Culture and Heritage Department, Cultural Endowment of Estonia and Corelli Club of Mécènes. That is why the concert in Narva is for free and ticket prices are low in Tallinn and Tartu.
