Faced with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, new music often tends to explore silence, simplicity and spiritual depth. Arvo Pärt, Frano Parać and Berislav Šipuš create contemplative pieces, rooted in the tradition of new simplicity and new spirituality.

The lyrical Dona nobis pacem by Parać, the meditative Fratres and the majestic Salve Regina by Pärt and the dramatic, polystylistic Passion by Šipuš combine a variety of means with a universal, humanistic message.
