To Breathe as One
April 24 at 7 pm
Every five years, 30,000 people gather on the same stage in the small country of Estonia to join voices at Laulupidu, the National Song Festival, to become the largest choir in the world. More than a music festival, it’s a miracle that at least twice in history gave freedom to that country. To Breathe As One explores the beauty and meaning of the choral festival through the eyes of the young members of the California-based Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir, one of the few American choirs invited to participate. From the filmmakers of the acclaimed “The Singing Revolution,” the film reveals that for Estonians singing is not just a means of cultural expression, but a defining part of their national identity. The filmmakers, Jim and Maureen Tusty, will join us to talk about the film and answer any questions.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 under 18.
