The Hague Vocal Ensemble, under the artistic direction of Angeliki Ploka, cordially invites connoisseurs of contemporary sacred polyphony to an evening of profound musical exegesis. This distinguished liturgical performance centers upon a rigorous choral exposition of Psaume 122, a monumental composition by the revered Dutch composer Daan Manneke. Traditionally categorized among the Songs of Ascents, this specific architectural manifest interrogates and elevates the acoustic interplay between historic sacred spaces and intricate vocal polyphony.  The performance orchestrates a complex sonic exploration of Manneke’s Psaume 122, a text intrinsically bound to themes of communal joy and the metaphysical ascent toward Jerusalem. Renowned as a “Kapelmeester van de ruimte” (Master of Space), Manneke uses spatial division to demand advanced dynamic shading and precise micro-intonation from the choir. The venue’s distinctive late-nineteenth-century acoustics serve as an active interlocutor, enriching the harmonic resonance to offer an immersive, transcendental auditory experience.
