We had our full ensemble rehearsal for Cantoria last night … What a wonderful night! All 13 of us who will be on stage were here, in a tight squeeze in Autumn Studios … and we made it over our cracks and pops, ending with an enormously harmonious and delicious Or Khadash to complete the evening! Thanks to all: The string quartet members Mary, Andrew, Nancy & Zoltan, Pepe, Zamir, Bill (our human metronome , Mike, Deborah, Debby, Liz, and of course… ZOE!
Thanks also to our visitors who served tea and cookies, and just offered yet more Joy to the evening: Debby, Carol, Richard, Jan, and our videographer Erez!
Love and Blessings to all – can’t wait to hear do this again June 10 on the Cultch stage!
AWESOME INTERVIEW AT WINDS OF CHANGE WITH JIVI!
We want to thank the entire crew at WoC for what was a truly inspirational and wonderful afternoon at the set of Winds of Change TV. Jivi was an incredible interviewer with her honest questions and real input about the Cantoria Project and Journey, as well as her own Spiritual Path.
Our deep gratitude to Corey, Pax, Peter, Carrie and the whole crew for this Joyful and powerful experience. Zoe, Liz and I were thrilled to be there, talk and sing our hearts out!
Can’t wait to see the show on June 5, 12 noon, KVOS TV!!!!!
Love and Blessings,
Mark
Arranged and produced by Vancouver’s Mark Fenster, this soulful musical Journey brings together a beautiful arrangement of local voices, world instruments and universal meditation. The loving intent of ancient Universal blessings are returned to our hearts with the global connection of our 7 Chakras, the deep Spiritual meanings of the words and the sweet calming of the music.
A lyrical combination of lead vocals by Mark Fenster and his 9 year old daughter Zoe, acoustic guitars, Bill Sample on piano & keyboards, Pepe Danza on Shakuhachi & Udu, 4 beautiful harmony vocalists (Cantor Michael Zoosman, Debby Fenson, Deborah Stern Silver, Liz van Warmerdam), and our Special Guests for this Premiere Concert: A String Quartet of musicians from the VSO, all comprise this Project of Peace and Acceptance, which has led to a great many joyful experiences and comments. One listener says: “I felt like I was meditating in pure peace while I was listening to your music.”
This concert will feature an opening performance of beautiful Baha’i prayers by VICO‘s Tenor vocalist Amir Haghaghi & celtic harpist Amy Stephen, a seemless performance of Cantoria in its entirety, and following an Intermission, we will feature an Open Forum discussion of Q&A on Ancient Sprituality, meanings and interpretations of the blessings, chakras, etc … Plus a few very special musical surprises!
Please join us for what is certain to be a touching, enjoyable, peaceful and deeply memorable evening
