About this concert

With four female singers and six traditional cantors from Croatia, this semi-staged performance explores the Dalmatian liturgical repertoire from Christmas to Easter. Latin and Slavic chants enter into dialogue and thus create a rich fresco of sound. For this mesmerizing mix of Gregorian and Glagolitic, Dialogos found the perfect partner in Joško Ćaleta and his ensemble Kantaduri.
