The Program

Across continents and millennia, humans have cried out in despair, feeling abandoned by their creator. The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir presents psalms from the proverbial wilderness in Armenian, Russian, Latin, and German translation, including a new commission in Aramaic by Lebanese composer Zad Moultaka.

“Why do You hide Your face,
           forget our affliction, our oppression?”
– from Psalm 44:25 (translation by Robert Alter)
