The program follows the mystery of the Christian faith, reflecting the most important stations of the history of the world and mankind from a Christian perspective in their relationship to God: Creation, the Fall of Man, Salvation, Betrayal and Resurrection. The light of the East shines through the choice of the pieces: not only because the music comes from the Catholic and Orthodox East, but also because these very different sounds relate to the central figure of Christianity: “East is his name” is to be heard in one of our songs. The a cappella ensemble Stella Maris Basilea was founded in 2001.
