Let’s Change the Rules! – protecting nature through choral singing.
After engaging people around the world – most recently in Helsinki, Zaragoza, and Istanbul – the concert Let’s Change the Rules now comes to Stockholm and Berwaldhallen. With specially composed music by composers from different countries, the audience can expect fifteen compelling songs expressing a range of perspectives – denial, anger, despair – ultimately arriving at a sense of hope. The purpose of the concert is to highlight the important work surrounding ecocide legislation and to help create sustainable conditions for our future. The evening features several of Sweden’s finest vocal groups and artists, joining together with a large mass choir for a common cause.

The performance at Berwaldhallen includes individual choirs and vocal groups, along with a mass choir of about 250 singers.

Participants:

The Real Group
Simon Marainen
VoNo
Riltons Vänner
Vocal House
Roliga Sångförsöket
and others.

“The main purpose of this concert is to inspire a shift of perspective. When you sing together with others, then you give your own voice to something greater than yourself – and immediately receive back a much greater sound, a whole harmony. Making music like this reflects humanity’s basic relationship with nature – which has been thrown out of balance. Ecocide law is a crucial tool for a transition to peaceful relations between humans and other species, which is what this concert stands for,” says Peder Karlsson, co-founder of The Real Group and Honorary Professor of innovative choir leadership at Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark.
