Concert for All Saints' Day and Reformation Day

Description

Deeply meaningful All Saints' Day is the day when Christians worldwide commemorate the saints and the deceased. The transience in nature, which becomes particularly visible during this season, sensitizes people to the impermanence of the earthly world. This opens the perspective on life after death and on the people who have gone before us in life and faith. This event is dedicated to the theme of remembrance with compositions by Richard Strauss, Peteris Vasks, Jean Sibelius, and Felix Mendelssohn.
