the "Oratio Dominica - Cyprian Bazylik and the Roots of the Evangelical Hymnody" concert

Poland and Lithuania celebrate the 230th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of 3 May 1791 in 2021, and the Mutual Engagement of Both Nations was adopted on 20 October 1791. It strengthened the federal relations between Lithuania and Poland. Around this date, a concert by artists from Poland and Lithuania will be performed. The concert programme was created as part of the cooperation of artists from Lithuania and Poland for the purpose of continuation of the "Evening Song / Pieśń wieczorna / Giesmė vakarinė" project, which was recorded and released on CD in November 2020. This initiative, important for discovering the common roots of the culture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, using both languages (the original Polish and the first Lithuanian translations at the time), is intended to present Cyprian Bazylik’s Opera Omnia. Cyprian Bazylik (born in Sieradz in 1535, died after 1591), called Ciprianus Siradiensis, Cyprian from Sieradz, monogramist C.B., C.S. was a Polish composer, writer, poet, translator and reform activist (Calvinist).
