Kris Oelbrandt: Septem Verba Christi

Sunday, 29 March 2026   |   20:15 - 22:00

Kris Oelbrandt: Septem Verba Christi

Experience the serene beauty of Kris Oelbrandt’s Septem Verba Christi. In this contemporary work, the Dutch composer — drawing from his background as a Cistercian monk — translates the final moments of Christ into a moving a cappella experience for mixed choir. Known for his meditative “music of silence,” Oelbrandt’s work offers a moment of deep reflection.

Don’t miss the Veldhovens Chamber Choir and conductor Peter van Aerts as they bring this piece to life on March 20 and 22, alongside Pergolesi’s timeless Stabat Mater.
