Come escape the rush of everyday living with Palissander, one of South Africa's leading chamber choirs.
Palissander makes music for the soul and is known for breaking down barriers between the choir and the audience and creating shared experiences.
The title of the programme was inspired by the Breyten Breytenbach poem: "Mag die bome groen bly en die sterre wit. En mag daar altyd mense wees wat mekaar sonder skaamte in die oë kan kyk. Want die lewe is 'n asem lank."
The programme reflects on the fact that, while we know that life is short, we often feel that it is rushing past and that we are not experiencing it to the full. To find more meaning, it helps to remember that we are part of nature.
Nature could teach us many things, such as quiet, kindness and to forget ourselves. We will also find the deep peace of nature healing. Through being one with nature, we could be echoes of peace, love and hope.
The programme includes, amongst others, Earth teach me quiet (for choir and tuned wine glasses) by Ēriks Ešenvalds, Jubilate Deo for triple choir by Luca Marenzio, Echo by Rob Dietz and Healing light by Karl Jenkins. The title work is a setting of the Breyten Breytenbach poem by Franco Prinsloo.
The audience will also be invited to do a rain improvisation with the choir.
Don't miss this unique experience!
