Fretwork (viol consort)
SANSARA
The acclaimed ensembles Fretwork and SANSARA come together in the Temple Church on Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday for a special evening of the composer's music. The programme features some of Pärt’s most profound sacred works, including Stabat Mater, Magnificat, and Da pacem Domine, alongside earlier pieces such as Fratres and Summa. Heard within this ancient space, Pärt’s luminous clarity and contemplative power are sure to take on a particular resonance.
