ATMOSPHÈRES SPIRITUELLES DE BACH À PART

Finnish maestro John Storgårds travels through 300 years of music in this concert bringing together works of staggering evocative power. From Bach’s solemn prayer to Arvo Pärt’s communal meditation, through the creative force of Quebec composer Simon Bertrand, this spiritually invested concert will restore hope and meaning in an uncertain world.
