Aviatrix, evokes the invitation to lift off and let go, to be drawn into
a journey through time and place and magic using inventive as well as
classical vocal techniques. This collection draws upon elemental notions of water, sun, breath, starlight, flight, dreams.
The fluidity of music, the surprising multivariance, the trust, the
inspiration, the imaginative force; the all encompassing strength and
belief in the power of music to transform is what drives Aviatrix.
