Awake LOVE Orchestra in new design by Alex Berry

On Fridaythe 25th of January Awake LOVE Orchestra performs at Kulturhuset Ytterjärna for the yearly Waldorf teacher meeting and on Friday the 1st at 20:00 at Västerås Waldorf School.  Alexandra Berry who also did the latest design for our acclaimed AWAKE performance has made a beautiful design to fit our poster made by Emma Löfström. The idea is that we all come from the LOVE planet! Come and enjoy new songs and see if you agree with Vyara Popova who came to see us last spring: “A completely mind-blowing, heart-rocketing and transcending experience, which for me transcends cultural difference and brings people in sync with love. It’s all about experiencing, connectedness unity and beauty.”
