Goa’s Lent in a nutshell

‘Ave Maria’ is the salutation of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary, a young girl from Nazareth, chosen by God to send Jesus into the world. This salutation, along with the popular prayer of supplication –Sancta Maria – is perhaps the most popular prayer of Catholics. The concert revolves around this greeting, the starting point of the Incarnation of Christ.

At the concert, 45 singers and 22 musicians will perform compositions in Latin, Aramaic, Russian, Greek, Sanskrit and Konkani.
