Stories befit evenings – we listen to them in the winter, as we come closer and keep each other warm, while during summer we allow the cool ripples of the night breezes to shakes us up in a thousand possible ways.
Some stories are told through music, others through speech. Some times with the help of both.
Taking part in a choir is no small thing – either you do so as a story teller or a singer. Voices unite with each other into something bigger, that is more than sound, creating a deep river, a diverse ecosystem able to include listeners, plane trees and buildings.
Ours songs and tales reflect a moment in time, places, paths, relationships, dreams. They also create space for next steps to follow.
