What does it mean to experience life and death, and what comes after?

In early 2022, Concordia Ensemble will present a continuation of their concert program at St Stephen's Uniting Church in the form of a series of cantatas, arias and scenas by a diverse array of Baroque composers. Each piece will question what it means to experience life, love and loss, and the ideas surrounding death in 17th Century Europe.
