Advent concert cycle “Colors of the Season”For the fourth year in a row during Advent and Christmas, the Concert Hall “Ave Sol” will be resonating with the musically diverse Advent concert cycle “Colors of the Season”. This year, the cycle, which was modestly started as an experiment with two concerts four years ago, will feature 11 concerts with the unifying title “Winter light-shadow play”.
Each concert of the cycle is creatively created by one of the choir groups of the Concert Organization “Ave Sol”, which is why each concert is unique as a snowflake. This year, we will hear pieces created both individually, by inviting instrumentalists and soloists, and by playing together with amateur groups from other structural units and municipalities.
Each musical evening will allow us to stop for a moment to feel the joy – of the smell of gingerbread, of sparkling white winters, of being together, of warm light in hearts and minds.
