Please join Safonia for a special presentation of music devoted to the child in all of us. From lullabies to nursery rhymes and fairy tales, Safonia wants to share with you our beautiful renditions of music evoking childhood and children's experiences. Featured in this concert are traditional lullabies from Russia, Spain, England, and Ireland, a more modern take on the form by Edgar Colon-Hernandez, an encore performance of Eric Whitacre's Seal Lullaby and the luminous Sing Me to Heaven by Daniel Gawthrop. We look forward to performing some more playful music based on folk tunes like Five Fat Fleas, Quare Bungle Rye, and a 20th century challenger by Naomi Stephen entitled Learn To Think Lizard.
We are excited to be releasing our third cd this spring entitled simply "Safonia: Lullabies". We hope you can join us for this wonderful concert experience. Cd's will be available at the concert for $15.
Tickets are $15. Tickets can purchased in advance on this website, through members of Safonia, or at the door.
About Safonia
SAFONIA is a women’s vocal ensemble dedicated to the synergy of music, passion and excellence.
Safonia was formed in the Summer of 2004 with a small focus group of individuals who have diverse experiences in local and national choral music, choral music administration and production. They created Safonia, the long-term vision for the group and set the stage for growth throughout these first stages of existence.
Safonia consists of women of all ages and interests who share a common goal to experience true musical excellence.
Under the direction of Marla Wasson, our over-riding goal is to create a seamless blend between all members without squelching the amazing passion and creativity each woman brings to the group. Musicianship is enhanced by repertoire selection of both classical and non-classical works. Safonia strives to bring a transcendent grace to each note, line and composition we perform.
We welcome new input and opportunities to perform in addition to our concerts. We look forward to collaborations with all types of groups in the Denver area.
