| At this year’s traditional All Saints Concert, Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir will celebrate the hope of light, which can only be seen in the dark. This late Sunday evening, when we remember those we have lost, is also a reminder that the classical vocal music emerged out of the sacred ambiance and the monks’ nightly chanted prayer. The spirit of the song does not seek to overthrow the silence, but rather to sing the duet with it, so that the silence comes forward and resonates along. The beauty of the tones points beyond – they lift themselves against the starry sky and eternity. |
