LAUT: Shared Journeys, Shared Seas 🌊Archipelago Vocal Project | Season 5
Saturday, November 28, 2026 • 6:30 PM
The Sanctuary at Pico Union — Los Angeles, CA
Featuring Indonesian Guest Conductor Eto Tagur
The sea has stories. So do we.
Some journeys take us across oceans. Others change us without ever leaving shore.
LAUT is the second chapter of AVP's three-part journey through sky, sea, and bloom — an exploration of movement, migration, identity, and the invisible threads connecting us across cultures, generations, and distances.
Laut means sea in Indonesian and Malay, reflecting the shared maritime histories and cultural connections of Southeast Asia and its diaspora.
For one evening, the historic Sanctuary at Pico Union, a century-old Los Angeles landmark, becomes a meeting place for these stories.
Expect an evening as unpredictable and expansive as the ocean itself — intimate and reflective one moment, exhilarating and powerful the next. Through choral music from Southeast Asia and beyond, we'll explore the courage of departure, the uncertainty of unfamiliar waters, and the beauty of discovering what connects us.
We're especially honored to welcome Indonesian guest conductor Eto Tagur, whose artistry and musical perspective help bring this season's vision to life.
And in true AVP fashion, the experience extends well beyond the stage.
