GRADUS AD COR

The oratorio "Gradus Ad Cor" is a musical-poetic narrative of texts about proximity, love and discovery of the world. The nine parts of the oratorio are like a symbolic stairway leading to the heart, spiraling into childhood memories, transforming thoughts and opening up new perceptions and feelings, and gently illuminating the present with new colors.
