A Singers, Elisabeth Hanke’s Thoughts, Ideas, and
Development through Females – a new Liedconcert
When limitations becomes possibilities, endless curiousity arises! An exciting
energy leads to explore new angles, philosophies, techniques, thoughts arises
on visible and invisible results, leading to male and female instincts and res-
sources, and how society value visible and invisible results. It is a new know-
ledge, to put focus on female instincts, ressources, as we are really good at
creating the fruitful ground for a visible result. Everything we do not see ......
dreams, senses, visions ..... e.g. how many years did it take Big Ben to mani-
fest? Everything humans create, starts with an idea, a vision, a dream, a need.
I believe in cooperation, that we raise our consciousness towards higher ethics,
to create the mental frames of dignity and kindness towards other people in
our everyday life, accepting that we all have our own unique qualities, to coop-
erate instead of fight, to give that compliment, smile, hold the door, say “make
a wonderful day”, a new day is a new chance! ...... of more harmony and peace
and ease.
Women suffers, today, yesterday, and tomorrow.Women instinct is to give life,
and to give life, women, females, are tuned to be openminded so that we are
able to receive, and then to give life as our biological code tells us. Problems
arise, when it is not valuable in society to live the female principles, because,
we do not create visible results, when we live the way nature has created us,
and, stress, illness, fear arises, because how can we survive when not allowed to
be women?
With Females – a new Liedconcert, we give life to Sulamith, Mathilde
Wesendonk, to Sibelius women and their faith, to Carmen, in new combi-
nations and constellations, singing the dust off oldfashioned forms and frames.
They are SEEN and HEARD in this concert.
Humans thrives, develops, exists at their best, when they are SEEN and
HEARD.
Focus is on ethics, the way we communicate, the values in life, how to raise
consciousness towards mental awareness, how we are responsible in creating
a better world in our everyday life, how you create your own mental frames, a
new day, a new situation, a new view, (on the same old man) is a new chance!
Warm Welcome to Females – a new Liedconcert
Sincerely,
Elisabeth Hanke
