In the Beginning
Lyyra
Voices that sing lyrically hold great warmth. And that is exactly where the American vocal ensemble Lyyra excels. They begin and end their programme with a single voice. In between, a rich and multilayered ensemble sound emerges that wanders between many different musical worlds. New arrangements and compositions created especially for Lyyra are the very heartbeat of this eclectic performance. Lyyra wins audiences over with the diversity of its musical colours: from classical music, jazz and pop to folk music. A concert to warm your heart.
