THE PERFORMANCE

NOW WE ARE EARTH is a love letter to the Earth and a call for more harmony and connection. Under the direction of composer Timo Tembuyser and with the electronic beats of Gary Shepherd, the performance unites professional performers, composers, and local singers. Together, we create a unique, unforgettable experience.

THE MUSIC

The choir, consisting of around 40 singers, forms the beating heart of the performance. It symbolizes diversity, collaboration, and the power of local communities.

Under the direction of conductor Tristan Knelange, you will work on three- and four-part English melodies during rehearsals. These melodies repeat and grow in complexity and intensity.
