Commentary by Vahur Afanasiev
Programme of Russian orthodox music and “Songs of Sinners” composed on the verses of the Russian Old Believer´s clergyman. Writer Vahur Afanasiev describes his life in an Old Believer´s village and reads passages from his novel “Seraphima and Bogdan”.
The concert series “Rituals” mediates tradition in the language of music. The traditional researcher involved in the program, together with musicians, looks for manifestations of ritual today and the causal connections between our roots and everyday behavior.
