On this evening, the organ works of composer Arvo Pärt, famous for his reduction to the essentials, are juxtaposed with the thoughts of writer John von Düffel on the important and essential things in life, which he summarized in his Book of Hours.
A few weeks after the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt's 90th birthday, Tobias Wittmann plays his four compositions for organ.
His music is focused on the essentials.
What are the essentials that matter in order to give life a good direction? In his modern book of hours on minimalism and clarity, John von Düffel explores these questions of life.
Arvo Pärt's sounds and John von Düffel's train of thought meet on this evening. Perhaps they will even touch each other.
