TABULA MUSICA ORCHESTRA
SHE, THE SEA TOUR
STORY | IMPRESSIONS | FUNDERS
"All people want to be seen and heard," says
Max Berend. This was the origin of the creation of the EP "She, the
Sea". Because he observed in himself how often he looked for people and
places to feel like he belonged, but did not find them, because he did not
present himself for who he really is. Society often socializes us to strive for
what we consider "normal" in life, based on metrics that no
individual truly understands. This fosters a culture in which we often confuse
acceptance with belonging, causing us to erect internal emotional barriers
against each other that perpetuate conditions in which we hide parts of
ourselves. This self-reflection is what he captures in the single
"Beast," which aims to point out: We can all create belonging when we
confront our own inner beast to come together as humanity through inclusion.
He found a strong partner in the inclusive Tabula Musica Orchestra, which with him and his band bring the songs of the new EP 'She, the Sea' to the stage. Founded in 2017, Tabula Musica Orchestra consists of musicians with and without disabilities, and is trained to play in a professional environment. Over the last few years, Tabula Musica has collaborated with artists such as Lo & Leduc, Jeans for Jeans and the Symphony Orchestra Biel Solothurn (TOBS).
On the "She, the Sea Tour" through Switzerland, Max Berend and the Tabula Musica Orchestra will play three concerts at three selected and accessible locations, like the Winterthurer Musikfestwochen. The performances are organized with sign language interpreters. They want to be where the "mainstream" can be found, in order to demonstrate: Together we can live inclusion and create participation and belonging naturally - no matter what background, gender, skin color, religion or whether with or without impairment someone might have. The beginning of this journey starts with opening up, and ends with listening.
