The Estonian choir Collegium Musicale under the direction of Endrik Üksvärav performed Polish premieres of compositions by Arvo Pärt, Paweł Łukaszewski and Erkki-Sven Tüür. The programme of the concert was full of both musical pursuits and exploration of tradition – prayer, meditation and… silence.
