Gloriæ Dei Cantores and Creare Symphonia, under the direction of Richard K. Pugsley, present a concert of works by Eastern European masters Arvo Pärt and Pēteris Vasks. Pärt’s L’Abbe Agathon, and Vasks’ Da Pacem, Domine, Lord Open Our Eyes, and the Fruit of Silence provide listeners with “food for the soul”— music that reflects suffering and a longing for hope, inner freedom, silence, and faith. Gloriæ Dei Cantores’ performance of Pärt’s work has been hailed as “superbly performed” (Fanfare), “extraordinary.” (Classics Today) and as “A true meeting of East and West.” (OrthoChristian.com)
