In this concert, the seven last words of Christ will be translated into musical language. The Seven Last Words of Christ is the title of an oratorio by French romantic composer Théodore Dubois (1837–1924). It was chosen by the newly appointed artistic director of the Klaipėda Choir Aukuras, Tomas Ambrozaitis, as the centre piece of this programme. The expectation of the resurrection will be also celebrated with the sacred music by the patriarch of Lithuanian national music, Juozas Naujalis, and composer of contemporary choral music Vaclovas Augustinas. After all, the renewed activity of Aukuras might be taken as a sign of its resurrection too…
