Taking inspiration from the young voices that today protest against the worlds abuse of resources, the show Earth Call communicates the challenges ahead for our society. A performance that through music, images and movement seamlessly present the theme; to live in harmony with each other and the Earth’s resources. All accompanied and supported by live photography and art by Kristina Junzell. The performance incorporates the UN’s global development goals that have been put forward by world leaders to reach social, economic and environmental sustainability by 2030. Earth Call premiered in 2016 at the Museum of Photography in Stockholm and since then has been toured throughout Europe, in the USA and in Canada.
VoNo is a professional vocal ensemble whose goal is to develop and renew vocal performing arts in a way that affects the listener on an emotional and personal level. The twelve singers and artistic director Lone Larsen have their musical core in the classical choral repertoire and work with improvisation and creative co-creation as a method for creating a unique musical experience. Courage, playfulness and individual dependability in combination with carefully crafted polyphonic choral music provide variety and a strong interaction with the audience. VoNo’s performances, concerts and films focus on culture, society and sustainability. The ensemble is based in Stockholm and tour actively throughout Europe. VoNo was founded in 1999 under the name Voces Nordicae.
