The birds of the world gather Conference of the Birds  in Concert Saturday 4 November 2023 7:00 PM 540 South Commonwealth Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90020  The Sanctuary I'm thrilled to return to the ensemble of The Conference of the Birds:  the most metal a capella journey of the soul seeking union with the Divine.  Composed by Fahad Siadat with a libretto by Sholeh Wolpé, the work utilizes virtuosic musical techniques found in singing styles across the globe.  The story follows the birds of the world who embark on a journey to find their sovereign, Simorgh, a divine/mythical creature. Led by the wise Hoopoe they travel through Seven Valleys, each a spiritual realm of understanding that unfolds as they journey toward Simorgh's sanctuary. The libretto is drawn from Sufi mystic poet Attar's seminal text. Buy Tickets Now!

To the degree that powerlessness takes root in people's consciousness, there is a greater tendency to resort to force. Powerlessness breeds violence."  - Daisaku Ikeda Copyright © 2023 Jacob Sidney, All rights reserved.
