On November 26 at 4 pm, the Vanemuine Opera Choir will perform a concert entitled “Time of Miracles” at the Paulus Church in Tartu. Aleksandr Bra\u017enik<\/strong>, who is head choirmaster of the Vanemuine Opera Choir and is of Ukrainian heritage, chose works for the concert program that act as a prayer. Ukrainians can attend the concert free of charge.<\/p>\n “A lot of people around us live normal lives, forgetting that the war is still going on. It is still happening and we must not forget. For me and many others who have friends and loved ones in Ukraine, this is every day. I think about them all the time. My chosen works are like prayers through music. That’s how I want to pray with the audience and the opera choir through music. The name of the concert is “Time of Miracles” – we will try to create this miracle together and send out our prayers,” said head choirmaster Aleksandr Bra\u017enik.<\/p>\n The concert program has been created together with choirmaster Kristi Jagodin<\/strong>. “We chose works to perform at the concert that both we and the choir like and that are enjoyable to sing,” said Bra\u017enik, who chose several works by Ukrainian composers for the concert program. <\/p>\n These include M\u00f5kola D\u00f5letski’s<\/strong> “Only Begotten Son”, M\u00f5kola Leontov\u00f5tchi’s<\/strong> “The Generous Giver”, M\u00f5hailo Shuhhi’s<\/strong> “Silent Prayer” (“And the Clouds Row”), Lesia D\u00f5t\u0161ko’s<\/strong> liturgy no. 2, “It’s worth it” and “Oh, in Jerusalem” by Yakov Yatsinevitch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As for Estonian composers, Cyrillus Kreek’s<\/strong> Daaveti song no. 104, “Praise, my soul…” and Song of David No. 141 “Lord, I cry You are not…”. “Virgin Mother of God” by Arvo P\u00e4rt<\/strong> and “What is a person” by P\u00e4rt Uusberg<\/strong> will be performed. The concert program also includes works by, for example, Antonio Lotti<\/strong>, William L.
