Nora Gorecki?

Lithuanian composer and conductor Mindaugas Piecaitis discovered a rich vein of Orthodox Christianity in the videos of Nora, the piano-playing cat. The enterprising musician didn’t stop there, but turned them into a Concerto for Solo Nora and Orchestra, the so-called Catcerto, amplifying the stray scents of Holy Minimalism, which usually don’t call forth those of the litterbox.

I’m convinced there’s some religious fervor in there. Something of Peteris Vasks spirit, maybe?

Or maybe some Arvo Pärt?
