Misatango
We are constantly longing for variety, new challenges, and fresh musical experiences—something that excites not only the singers and conductors but also the listeners. With the arrival of spring, we felt it was the perfect moment to bring Misatango to the stage: a powerful work for orchestra and soloist, where sensual passion and sacred solemnity are woven together with the mastery only the fiery Argentine composer Martín Palmeri can deliver. As a special treat, this concert also offers another musical gem—The Beauty of Evening by Pärt Uusberg, a piece of captivating beauty and meticulously crafted musical language. In the spirit of anticipating summer, allow yourself an hour of music that both feeds the soul and gently stirs it—helping you reflect on the magnificence of being alive.
