CHROSMOS - Resounding Colours of Creation

A moving concert of hope, gratitude, sorrow, and praise—bringing sacred, hidden songs into the light. Music Director: Kathryn Whitney. Our world resounds with voices raised, united by a common purpose: to sing songs of hope, gratitude, sorrow, and praise. All around the globe, we sing behind the closed doors of our houses of worship, in untranslated languages, following unique cultural rituals, dispersed and isolated from one another. Our concert CHROSMOS (a word combining ‘cosmos’ and ‘chrome’ or ‘multicoloured’) unites these songs under one global roof: a single concert emphasizing the common human message in our voices raised. Featuring creation and love songs from Muslim, Hindu, Indigenous, Jewish, Pagan, and Christian cultures, CHROSMOS celebrates the common light illuminating the full spectrum of colours we manifest through our singing, uniting us and our world.
