Faith in Harmony: Voice

About this event

Please Note: This is a free program, registration required. The most human of instruments, the voice, is foundational to so many spiritual experiences-in its presence and in its absence. This program explores the role of human voices in uplifting scripture, song, and calls to prayer in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, illuminating a shared dimension of Americans' faith in harmony. About the Faith in Harmony: Soundscapes of American Spirituality series Rooted in the nation's commitment to freedom of belief, this five-part series explores the rich and evolving landscape of religion and spirituality in American-including Jewish, Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, and Native American spiritual practices, among others-through celebration of sound. Programs, offered free to the public, feature performances and conversations that reveal the human connections that emerge when sounds resonate in harmony. From sounding of the horn to the strike of the daf, from the healing of the jingle dress to a cantor's call to prayer, these soundscapes reflect the tones, textures, and connections of American spirituality across the nation. This project received funding from the Smithsonian's " Our Shared Future: 250 ," a Smithsonian-wide initiative supported by private philanthropy and created to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary and advance the Smithsonian vision for the next 250 years.
