—Voices Shaping Time—
Love, longing, joy, anger, memory, melancholy, hope . . .
These are life’s gifts that make up the human experience. Throughout history, music has given voice to our passions and desires, our work and celebration, our hopes and fears, interpreting and enriching our worlds and shaping time. The human voice is our first and most perfect, personal, and expressive instrument, the one all others strive to imitate. Through music, our voices have spread the words of history, expressed our deepest passions and devotions, sung the world, and sung our souls to the world. There is no more powerful way to enter another age and know our forebears’ lives, minds and hearts than through their song, hearing how they shaped time with their voices.
