The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Banned, buried, and resurrected: Orthodox hymns for Holy Week that survived the Stalinist machine, brought to life in the deeply moving Passion Week settings by Maximilian Steinberg and Alexander Gretchaninov. Cappella Romana’s world premiere of Steinberg’s Passion Week in 2O14 and its disc and vinyl release received international critical acclaim. If you love Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil(Vespers), you’ll experience the same passion here.
