Absolutely phenomenal, I wish I could have seen this live! This sounds like it was a very personal and emotional project for you - those are the best kind of projects ❤
What you have done is amazing. Your dad would be so proud of you. The comment from the refugee child brought tears to my eyes. God has blessed you and you have shared that blessing with the world.
Ich persönlich finde Ihre Interpretation als die beste von allen ihren Mitstreitern auf RU-vid. Schon deshalb da sie ein Mezzo Sopran sind. Dieses Krampfhafte „ Hohe“ ist nicht so schön wie ihre Darbietung 👋🏻
Working with children, working for the discovery of their potentials and the growth of their abilities is such a privilege. And listening to your work, your teaching, your singing and your reflections on all that... and the Eden project in itself... I mean... it's so much. I feel full, rich, inspired and ready to go and do more and a little bit more, and more, and more. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You did something so extraordinary with EDEN, I can't even begin to describe it. And although EDEN may no longer be on the stage, I’m convinced it will keep going in so many ways. I still have physical EDEN seeds I planted months ago (and some that may not have been planted yet). And for anyone who needs a break from the insanity of the world: Just go back and look at the faces of the children on stage, their pride and joy when they were singing a song behind the stage. None of them will ever forget that.
Yes its about the children. ARt touches lives and changes people. And the Eden kids will never be the same - are better for the experience. I'm writing a novel about the work of art in the world...especially in the lives of children.
The recital/concert/experience was already EPIC and cause for a life rehaul. And the educational piece- continuing to impact kids for a very long time- perhaps indefinitely! You (and your amazing team) and ITAC have truly given the world something incredibly special. Thank you. #edencolorado
Thank you for creating the Eden, the world full of beautiful music and nature! With a happy singer among it. What a peace and beauty in the songs by Mahler, Portman! Your performance will stay in our hearts.
Our little European group of friends and fans were at the very first Eden, several concerts along the way and some were at the very last Eden. It was different in each city and my friends at the last concert said it was the most powerful of the series.
Ms. D, what a touching, heartfelt video.💖😓 And what a perfect title: Eden, Full Circle. Circles are ongoing, never-ending! Just because the EDEN tour has ended, doesn't mean the message of EDEN stops circling! Just because you no longer see the messenger, doesn't mean you forget the message! Each person whose heart has been changed by the message of Eden will WANT to share it...when something wonderfully life-changing touches your heart, you MUST share it. I know this is true because I'm experiencing it!! I only know Eden through the CD, RU-vid videos, and your posts. But, my heart certainly "gets" the message, which I'm eagerly sharing with my friends. And now, I see some of them sharing it also!! Whew,I need to stop before my comment becomes longer than your video.😉
What a Heartfelt, Beautiful video message Joyce. I unfortunately did not get to experience Eden in-person, but what an amazing project and Journey it appeared to be!. I look forward to seeing what musical path your career leads you on next. I still feel like I have only scratched the surface of your repertoire I still only have your Songs of Faire, Hahn & Head: Arias by Rossini & Handel album and I want to try and hopefully eventually get more of your CD’s physically in my hands but until then I’m starting to discover the music on Apple Music on my phone. But in conclusion I have to tell you what JOY and AMAZEMENT Your VOICE and Music has brought Me!!. Cheers. 🫶
Brooke! Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you'll be able to catch EDEN via Medici TV in the coming months. I hope it will be a gift for you. Happy Listening!
I missed the entire N American tour. I'm excited to finally experience this even on video (I listen to the recording often) It's an enchanting curation of works interpreted as an artistic expression From nature. And, of course, Joyce! I'm so looking forward...
This extraordinary experience began with a bold and visionary invitation from the wonderful World Human Forum organization to bring EDEN to this ancient Greek site. Full of immense power and symbolism, we were immersed in the sense of how fruitful and unified humanity can be when we come together in the spirit of true friendship and respect. I hope Eden in Olympia will inspire you to feel and nurture this in your own way!
Joyce, I don’t know if you’ll see (and read) my comment but I just have to say that I Love your facial expression when you reference the camera man 😄 (like it deeply tickles you to be keeping it a secret)!.
