In religious traditions, passion narratives are about suffering, sacrifice, and transformation, and usually centered around one hero or savior, but Passio is a contemporary concert where the passion story takes a different turn: that of polyphony. We meet survivors, pioneers, and creators who reveal an often unheard story of resilience and transformation, where various classical singing techniques, fortepiano, jazz, blues, South Asian percussion, and baroque strings merge with each other in time and space. 

‍

With the direction of soprano Maribeth Diggle and compositions by pianist Lucie de Saint Vincent, created in collaboration with the ensemble, Passiobecomes a collective act of voices based on interviews with the musicians of the ensemble themselves. One that makes the passion stories we share with each other visibly more complete. And one that Bach would  have surely loved.
