— timeless soul music for the winter solstice

   
And just like the seasons shift you’d always change your mind…
(Meskerem Mees)

As a sign of hope and light in the dark days, an exquisite collective of musicians gives a new musical interpretation to the ‘Christmas concert’.
   
The authentic voices of the internationally acclaimed singersongwriter Meskerem Mees and top soprano Lore Binon resonate heavenly in a cycle of pre-Christian ‘light’-songs, medieval and baroque Christmas music and songs by Meskerem Mees.

Piano wizard and composer Jean-Luc Fafchamps creates contemporary arrangements for a special instrumentation with folk guitar, violin, theorbo/ lute, cimbalom, percussion and prepared piano.

The musical keywords are friction and rotation. Instruments with different historical backgrounds and temperaments clash and search for harmonic agreement. The soulful voice of Meskerem Mees and the pure classical voice of Lore Binon become polymorphously intertwined on a layer of smooth backing vocals.
