The renowned professional chamber choir will perform Arvo Pärt’s largest a cappella choral work, the Kanon Pokajanen, the Canon of Repentance, at Christ the King on Sunday, February 27 at 3:00pm. The Eastern Orthodox understanding of repentance is not morose sorrow for the past. Instead it creates optimism for the future: from the Greek metánoia, a change of mind, a fundamental transformation of one’s outlook. Pärt’s expansive musical meditation on the true meaning of repentance will take your breath away. And give you breath to change your own mind no matter what life brings. A perfect event to start off Lent. You might remember some of Cappella Romana’s singers helped us sing Easter last year!  Sung in ancient Church Slavonic with translation provided. All members of Christ the King can receive 30% off tickets in Sections A and B.  Use the discount code “CTK” when you check out.
