Tchaikovski - Liturgie de Saint Jean Chrysostome

and its executive producer ERDA, Insula orchestra The human voice, bare and powerful. A mystical confrontation between the Russian soul and Austrian fervour, offering an a cappella experience of absolute purity.

This concert brings together two great spiritual traditions through two gems of the choral repertoire rarely performed in concert. With Tchaikovsky's Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, the music unfolds without instruments, entirely carried by the human voice.

Deeply rooted in the Russian Orthodox tradition, it transforms the choir into a space of prayer and inner elevation. Alongside it, Bruckner's motets place this quest within the Catholic universe.

Written for the liturgy, they concentrate in a few pages a powerful expressive intensity, made of silences, tensions and moments of calm.

Two styles of writing, two rites, but one shared experience of the sacred: a music of listening, slowness and depth, in which the voice becomes a place of contemplation and memory.

Entirely a cappella, without a single instrument, this rare programme entrusts everything to the human voice. Performed by accentus, one of Europe's most admired choirs, it is an experience of absolute stripping-back.
