Hello everyone! We are back, at least virtually. We invite you to subscribe to our new blog! Also new on the website is an archive of past concert programs.

Someone asked me for the text and translation. It is, I am afraid, a bit timely. Ne irascaris Domine satis, et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis nostrae. Ecce respice populus tuus omnes nos.... Civitas sancti tui facta est deserta. Sion deserta facta est, Jerusalem desolata est. Be not angry, O Lord, and remember our iniquity no more. Behold, we are all your people. Your holy city has become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem has been made desolate.
