If you’re looking for some smooth inspirational music to lighten your spirit during these COVID times, it may not get any better than watching four fetching women from Sweden do intricate and charming vocal harmonies performed from a garden.
That happens this afternoon when the Kongero quartet, which seems to have an affinity for Canada, performs as part of Harbourfront’s “Summer Music In The Garden at Home” online concert series.
If you’ve never visited the Music Garden Toronto before you really should some time. This wonderful construction, located abutting Lake Ontario and Queen’s Quay West, and running from a little east of Bathurst St. to Spadina Ave., is a marvellous escape from the mundane.
When you arrive you can pick up free audio buds that, as you walk through the various areas of biological diversity deliver various musical tracks meant to be in affinity with the cultivated areas in which you roam. Little plaques in each area also give more details about how the music and biology are meant to intertwine and inform one another.
Of course that recedes into the background when there are live performances there, which take place every Sunday from 4-5 and Thursdays from 7-8 pm.
Today’s feature lends itself well to an idyllic summer idle afternoon. As I discovered listening to a video of the four ladies in Kongero (Lotta Andersson, Emma Björling, Anna Larsson and Anna Wikénius) this is extraordinarily beautiful sound produced by the human voice alone.
The material is traditional Scandinavian music given a melodic 21st century twist (which they call “Swedish Folk’apella”) and the result is described on the Harboufront concert series website as “spine-tingling vocal polyphony and blue notes, intimacy and power.”
After watching a couple of videos on the group’s website of performances from Quebec and Vancouver during previous visits here from 2017 through 2019, I felt one of those little shivers of delight you sometimes get from music that touches you inside.
Soothing, entrancing, almost with a religious cast like a choir intertwining with a small pipe organ, the music undulates in tapestries that wave and shimmer in ribbons of sweet harmonies, delicate like butterfly wings but strong enough to fly.
Although you may not be able to visit the garden in person today to hear the performance (according to the organization’s box office phone line all of Harbourfront is still closed to the public) you can tune in to check it out starting at 4 on the Harbourfront website.
