When you enter the Turku Cathedral, you immediately feel time slow down. Something timelessly beautiful echoes beneath the high vaults. Vox Clamantis, Grammy Award-winning and one of the world’s most respected vocal ensembles, brings music that emanates a sacredness born of silence.

This evening is dedicated to the compositions of Arvo Pärt – music that breathes, nurtures and touches. Pärt’s musical language is like a light in the twilight: subtle but powerful, full of space and meaning. His works resonate in the pure and delicate voices of Vox Clamantis in a way that makes time stand still. Each chord resonates in a chapel-like silence, each pause giving space to feelings and thoughts we may not even have known we were carrying.

Under the direction of the choir’s founder and artistic director Jaan-Eik Tulve, Vox Clamantis paints an invisible, breathing tapestry of sounds in the air, enveloping the listener like a warm, spiritual light. This concert is an experience, a journey into the inner self, a moment when music and silence merge into one.
