Performances & Memories

2023

We were honoured to sing again for ARMS - Association Representing Women Separated by Adoption - they have changed their name to better reflect their experiences - their children were not relinquished as the legal documents suggest. It's deeply moving to hear their stories and how they were manipulated and convinced they had no option but to let go of their children. 6 May 2023

We sang on "Snail's Trail" to Yatsik by Kinetik Theatre. 13 May 2023
