EDEN is an invitation to return to our roots.It is an overture to engage with the sheer perfection of the world around us,to consider if we are connecting as profoundly as we can to the pure essence of our being.It is a clarion call to contemplate if our collective suffering isn’t perhaps linked to the aching separation from something primal within and around us. This is a vivid musical exploration through the centuries to remember and to create a new EDEN from within. ~ Joyce DiDonato
