AÏM choral collective
a modular choir
The AÏM choral collective is an interfaith vocal ensemble that strives to support our connection to the divine with a diverse repertoire of sacred music. AÏM's ethos is rooted in the common source of all cultures and their rhizoming, embodied expressions, integrating various vocal traditions with their related societal and spiritual functions. Anaïs Maviel's artistic direction stretches our perception of what is musically and vocally possible with expansive vocal arrangements and site-specific stage direction. Communal singing is always welcome, although not explicitly prompted in AÏM's performances, so that to offer a sovereign experience to diverse audiences. Open rehearsals bridge our practice with audience members and vocalists who wish to collectively experience spiritually grounded and innovative vocal expressions.
