So excited to have 'The Two Sisters' peformed again!

Both performances are free, and at the one in Århus there will be free chips and wine as well :))

THE TWO SISTERS
'The Two Sisters' is a 25-minute electro-acoustic chamber opera based on the story from the Danish folk ballad 'The Two Sisters.' It is written for two singers, a cellist, and a contemporary dancer.
Stylistically, this is a blend of Western art music, Nordic folk, and electronically manipulated acoustic sound — a true reflection of composer Ea Wims musical upbringing.

PLOT
When the elder sister gets engaged, the younger sister becomes consumed by jealousy and attempts to kill her. In self-defence, the elder sister kills the younger one. Guilt eats away at the elder sister, and her wedding ends up being haunted by her deceased sister, who manifests in the wedding musician's violin.

WHY IS THIS OPERA RELEVANT FOR OUR TIME?
Many young people have a weak connection to our cultural heritage, leading to a great lack of identity. They base their identity on passing trends and have no grounding in their sense of self. Therefore, it is important to make our cultural heritage relevant to them, both when it comes to classical music, as well as the history of folktales. Telling folktales is a living tradition. "The two sisters" has travelled far around Europe, and changed a bit every time it was passed on, because you change it to your meaning
and understanding. We need to keep this tradition alive because the morals of these stories are as relevant as ever. The moral of the two sisters is placing too many expectations on children is destructive, but it is something we humans keep on doing. Why is that?

PEOPLE INVOLVED
● The younger sister, soprano Julia Bielefeld
● The older sister, Soprano, Sofia Schmidt
● The Wedding musician, Contemporary dancer, Felix Sieben
● Cellist, Anna Helander
●Composer, Ea Wim

Magical photos from a joyous afternoon of singing my final Master’s recital! ✨

This last recital was the most fun I’ve had yet, especially since I got to perform alongside the world’s best collaborators and friends. I could not have done any of it without this amazing, loving community of people, especially Dr. Gill @gill_mindful_voice_training — my teacher, mentor, therapist, cheerleader, and friend. I feel so eternally grateful!

Videos to come soon!
