Overtone Industries develops and presents new multidisciplinary operas and music theatre, bringing to life vivid, original stories and myths. We are passionate about live performance and its power to generate transformation, as performers and audience participate together in each unfolding moment. We believe artistic expression is an essential part of living, serving as a catalyst for both artists and audience members to understand themselves in a new way. Collaboration is at the heart of our process and we give each project the time and devotion it requires to come to life.
There is nothing more uplifting than connecting sounds with the help of your friends. It becomes a new language or conversation created with rhythms and tones, which somehow translates itself to others as they listen. It's a blessing and I love every minute of it.
