Delve into the UNFILTERED and embodied way we interact, and Grow together musically. In this production we want to break down the 4th wall barrier which separates you (the audience) from us (the performers). We want this to be an equally memorable experience for you, like it has been for us. Join us, and see how this youth initiative developed into The NGGC Experience. If you enjoyed the experience, please like and chat with us live in the comments!  less

Every day I think of her because she was a great angel in My career. She opened the doors to Europe for me and helped me a lot to Grow My career. She was also the musical godmother of hundreds of people to whom with Epilogi she gave education and showed them a passion. She organized festivals that boosted the culture of choral music in Europe and also did everything with unparalleled energy and joy. She was a woman who inspired me, who inspired us and was a great friend in My life. Thank you Angelina. Santiago Veros  less

The text is based upon excerpts from The Diary of Anne Frank, taken from the 1952 and 1991 English translations of the book. The full musical work was premiered in 2004 by the San Francisco Girls Chorus. Anne Frank was between the ages of 13 and 15 when she wrote her Diary, while living in a secret upstairs annex over a warehouse in Amsterdam with her family, the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer. Despite the fears and frustrations she experienced in over two years of hiding from the Nazis, Anne learned how to survive, even to find beauty in small things and to hold on to her ideals. Composer Linda Tutas Haugen writes: "My goals for this composition are to honor the life of Anne Frank and to gain a deeper understanding of what she, her family, and friends experienced during the Holocaust." The text excerpts are chronologically arranged, and span more than two years. They portray...    less
