Who'd have thought that snow falls

The concert evening focuses on the voice as a cross-generational testimony of human experience and the transformative power of singing together.

Three large screens hang like windows in the room of St. Elisabeth's Church - they show videos of female singers and landscapes from the Ukrainian region of Luhansk. Berlin and Ukrainian singers (composed by choir member Paulina Kühling) interact with the videos and attempt to bridge the insurmountable distance to the villages occupied by Russia since 2022 through song. Together with the multi-channel sound composition (Martyna Poznańska) of field recordings from Luhansk and the video composition (Matthias Schönijahn), they create an immersive space. Guests are invited to let themselves be touched by the haunting voices marked by life and their vital power.
