Vak: Song of BecomingPost an Event »

Inspired by the ancient Indian goddess Vak, who creates the world through sound vibration, Vak: Song of Becoming is an immersive sonic experience. Composer Ann Dyer, in a departure from her celebrated career as a jazz vocalist, experiments with these ancient Indian sound practices in a new, contemporary work that explores the relationship of sound and self. The piece features choreography by Erika Chong Shuch and is performed by Dyer, several of her longtime instrumental collaborators, and the 108-person Vak Choir, which is made up of “every day” voices representing all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Vak: Song of Becoming challenges assumptions about voice, listening, and the role of performance in a modern musical awakening.
