In Search Of
Through a continuous search for spiritual shelter, this piece observes the process in which the understanding of one’s self meets a communal effort.

Performed at the Barbican Centre’s 2017 Curious Festival
Meeting on the second Wednesday of each month, Circle of Voices, is an evening of collective singing to explore our individual breath and tone, and the connection that has to the people around us. Led by Guild Hall’s Patti Kenner Fellow, Anthony Madonna, the evening will explore a variety of collective vocal practices such as Deep Listening, Circle Singing, and traditional round & part songs.
Open to singers of all backgrounds and experience levels. All that is required is the desire to connect in a welcoming circle of voices.
