PROJECT
Lost&Found
This concert explores the universal experience of loss and the shared path people take to cope and heal. Through a powerful blend of music and spoken word, it tells the stories of three individuals who each face different kinds of loss—be it physical or mental ability, a loved one, or a home. Despite their differences, they are united in their search for hope and resilience.
Structured in four chapters—Before, Losing, Fighting, and Overcoming—the performance weaves together personal narratives, music by composers like Schubert, Bartók, and Pijper, and new works combining voice and music. The goal is to inspire audiences to stay positive and remind them that they are not alone in facing difficult times.
