Welcome to the Makrokosmos Project Virtual Festival!
We hope you enjoy this eclectic selection of performances from our stellar team. Some of the videos are hot off the press! Others are from previous Makrokosmos Project festivals and performances. All are the contributions of our awesome MP artists and show their dedication and love to our craft.
Please consider making a donation to Makrokosmos Project at any amount. This year’s festival is brought to you free of charge, but your generous donation will benefit our performers and help fund future performances. Please help keep our dreams alive. We need your help more than ever.
In this tremendously difficult time we call on our community to unite as one. The current pandemic raging through our cities, our hospitals and our families must be brought to an end. We fight a parallel pandemic, a pandemic of systemic racism against people of color.
Originally, Makrokosmos Project 6 was going to be called Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman. That will be the theme for next year’s festival.
The new title for this year’s festival is:
Makrokosmos Project 6: Compassion
In Memoriam: Widney Moore
In Memoriam: George Floyd and Victims of Systemic Racism
Dedicated to the Victims of COVID-19
Enjoy the music! Please take good care, stay healthy and keep in touch. We hope to see you in person again before too long.
Yours,
Stephanie & Saar
