What is passion? In almost all European languages, the origin of the word is related to the word for suffering. Whether it is passionate love, passionate hatred, passionate interest, or a passionate inquiring mind, one thing is certain: passion compels, inspires and sometimes it causes truly nerve-wracking suffering. It is this overwhelming, overriding feeling that we will try to express in music in our concert today. We present the faces of passion, whether it be softly lyrical, romantic, poignantly painful, invigorating or even captivatingly sensual.
