Grete Pedersen (Dir) // Sorensen is one of northern Europe's most performed and admired composers and winner of the Grawemeyer Award for Music in 2018. The libretto [in English] is made of fragments of the Gospels of Matthew and John, as well as poetry by six authors, three of them women. In his work, Sorensen says, 'lies a love passion. Not only Christ's love declaration to all humankind, through crucifixion and resurrection, but also a simple and beautiful love.'
