Drawing from a vast range of global traditions, including Southern Italian tarantella, Moroccan Gnawa, Indian classical music, Japanese farmers’ song, and American folk practices, the program highlights music’s ability to create presence, grounding, and collective meaning. Rather than presenting these traditions in isolation, Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual weaves them into an ongoing dialogue, revealing unexpected connections across geography and history. The result is an evocative experience in which listeners are invited to participate as witnesses and partners in the act of listening itself.
