Spirits of Music is an unusual musical journey through the centuries, with stops on all continents. Inspired by their creators' different faiths, the works on the program have a strong religious background and are moving examples of the emotional power and effect of music. Internationally renowned soloists and ensembles as Bobby McFerrin (a ten-time Grammy Award winner, he is one of the world’s best-known vocal innovators and improvisers, a worldrenowned classical conductor), Nigel Kennedy (one of the world’s leading violin virtuosos), Sibylla Rubens (has emerged as one of the most compelling lyric sopranos of her day) or the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig will perform popular works from the European music tradition, encompassing Bach, Mozart and Verdi. Many magnificent examples of religious music come from artists as Kroke (playing and composing with the realm of authentic Jewish music), the Kuumba Singers (dedicated to the expression of black creativity and spirituality through song), Mari Boine (one of the most impressive folk artists of contemporary time), the Bulgarian Voices Angelite (24 women whose hypnotic chant circles the globe), Vocal Sampling (a Cuban six-man a cappella group which has been described as one of the wonders of the musical world) and the the Ensemble Al-Kindi (is currently rated among the best formations devoted to classical Arab music). With the inclusion of world music, the program will achieve a highly suspenseful juxtaposition of European and non-European music.

Feels criminal I am only just now discovering this man and all the talent and joy he has brought to the world. What little I have seen of him I feel confident in saying he makes the world a better place. What a talent.

[@crazyharmless666]

i firmly believe this man is just gods mouth walking around on earth spreading joy.

Only music can bring us all together. It has no colour, no divinity, no exemption. It's brings only good.

[@ShadowShiranui]

@@gospelgriot8464 Music itself has no affiliation as Vert Xavier says. The Human bring it with them when we creating songs and lyrics. We bring the meaning of the songs with us because we want to express something. Like a plea to the Gods that it will rain and so on. But without our expressions the music itself is free from such things. That's why music is spread all over the world ;)

The music feels so primal, so powerful. If he can create that on the spot, which I enjoyed very much, Imagine what he could create if he sat down to compose, edit and refine what his composition.
