Aurore – Helsinki Renaissance Music Festival will be held in February st St. Paul's Church
The program presents Aurore's four enchanting concerts including full of colourful renaissance music!
In the concert programme Musica Rigensis, you will hear Gregorian chants from the 14th century collection Missale Rigensie, which were performed at the Riga Cathedral. Missale Rigensie reveals medieval Riga as a significant centre of European culture where the most current Western European music of the time was performed.
In contrast to the monophonic chants within the programme, there are polyphonic works composed two centuries later – mass, passion, and motets.
