Lines of Light Vocal Ensemble

The premiere of a collaborative and co-creative vocal ensemble of five vocalists, composers, and improvisers Amirtha Kidambi, Cleo Reed, Miriam Elhajli, Shara Lunon, and isabel crespo pardo.

Lines of Light was formed in direct response to attacks on women, non-binary, and trans people’s bodily autonomy and the interconnection to the struggle for racial justice. Conceptually, the vocal ensemble is driven by the idea that communal singing is a direct path towards community building and collective liberation, drawing from forms such as Indian folk and devotional bhajans, gospel and other vocal folk and improvised traditions. In working with female identifying, non-binary and trans artists with distinctive artistic voices, backgrounds and identities, we aim to bring these voices into powerful dialogue, to effect healing and transformation, through solidarity with each other and the audience.
