Exsultet Temple Concert

The dramaturgy of this year's church concert not only continues the tradition of the ensemble line striving to perform (contemporary) spiritual works in their original spaces (since 2010), but also completes the twenty-year jubilee of Ensemble Opera Diversa with another performance of a world premiere by a long-term related composer. When returning to the "Red Church" on Comenius Square, two seemingly distant worlds meet: a selection of the White Saturday Responsories of the late Renaissance Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa with the new Exsultet by the tribal author Ondřej Kyas, who, on the initiative of the ensemble, composed a composition using the "steady" instrumentation of a diverse string orchestra enriched o vibraphone and a quartet of historical instruments. In cooperation with the Ensemble Versus chamber choir, a program was created that, under the imaginary baton of Gabriela Tardonová, symbolizes the ethos of the ensemble's long-term efforts to bring new things, rediscover the forgotten, and look for contexts in the less frequented.
