Four female singers of Dialogos join six traditional cantors from Croatia, to explore the richness of Dalmatian liturgical musical traditions since the Middle Ages. From Christmas to Easter, they follow the main liturgical celebrations and create a magnificent soundscape composed by learned and traditional chants in Latin and Slavonic languages.
