Each section of Path of Miracles musically captures the essence of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela: diverse landscapes, physical trials and spiritual insights.

Stravinsky’s work is infused with rhythm, energy, and innovation—music that is not only heard but also felt and moved. In this programme, Cappella Amsterdam, New European Ensemble, and conductor Daniel Reuss bring Stravinsky’s unmistakable musical language to life, together with eight dancers from Zero Dance Theatre under the direction of choreographer Denden Karadeniz.

A new tradition: Cappella Amsterdam performs Arvo Pärt’s rarely heard Kanon Pokajanen (1997), a monumental choral masterpiece. With simple yet profound musical means, Pärt creates a deeply immersive experience, blending meditative resonance, hushed recitatives, and rich harmonies. Rooted in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, this kanon of repentance transcends time, offering a rare and moving moment of musical contemplation.

In Cantigas, you will hear the music that once echoed through the streets of Córdoba: an enchanting selection of Marian songs from the Cantigas de Santa Maria and Arabo-Andalusian pieces that are still sung and played in the Maghreb today.
