Sound Circle: Praises for the World-March 18
An opening set features classic Sound Circle songs as well as songs from our recent Path of Beauty: Singing the Grand Canyon. The second half of the concert is Jennifer Berezan's Praises for the World, a simple chant with layers of vocal and instrumental improvisation performed over the chant. The diverse musical talents of the women of Sound Circle will enhance this performance: guitar, piano, drums even musical saw will be part of the improvisational color, along with vocal improvisation and spoken word. The chant is like a canvas or a vessel; each performance emerges with different textures, colors and feelings. The audience will be invited to sing the chant as the 45-minute piece unfolds. Berezan's vision is for this work to be a celebration that will "deeply inspire all people to join in the vital work of social activism... and to find a renewed reverence for our world." She says, "we need to find ways to keep our hearts open in the midst of the fear, loss, and turmoil, to keep connected to our sense of love for the world and to act from this place to help save it. People throughout time have understood the power of ritual to focus our intentions, create community and healing, and empower us to act in awakened compassionate ways."
