When you pass through the floods, they will not sweep o’er. When you walk through the fire you will not be consumed. You are my child; you are so precious to me.” ___________________________________________________________________________ VOICES UNBOUND: A Cantus Virtual Choir Project This is a 2-month holistic music workshop that will gear us to continue our journey to grow as musicians & individuals in these trying times, while we connect and bond with our fellow choristers and conductors.

It was written by Abraham ("Abramek") Koplowicz, a Jewish boy who was exterminated by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Abramek was born in 1930 in Lodz, Poland, and died 1944 in the infamous concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He wrote this poem during the time that his family was trapped in the Lodz ghetto. This poem was not found until 1983 when Eliezer ("Lolek") Grynfeld, the poet's half-brother, discovered it among their late father's belongings. Choristers who sing this work will be transported on a magical flight around the world through time and space along with their audiences.  less
