Da Pacem, Domine

With its program, this year's concert by the string quartet Diversa Quartet continues the years-old initiative of the ensemble operation to realize evenings in memory of all the faithful deceased, i.e. with a soul theme. Although delayed in terms, the dramaturgical concept itself is not strictly liturgical, but rather wreathed in the theme of sadness and commemorative dedications, aiming at a conciliatory catharsis. The title of the concert with three Czech premieres is based on the composition of the same name by Arvo Pärt, which will be heard at the very end of the evening.
