Arvo Part's Trisagion with the SDSO

Often quiet and serene but always life-giving, the music of Arvo Pärt is like no other. For Pärt,  each note, each tone, is important. His music sounds both ancient and contemporary.

From a recent performance with the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra led by Delta David Gier, Arvo Pärt's haunting Trisagion is in this week's Regional Spotlight.
