Society Hall, at 400 Ross Avenue in Alamosa, is excited to welcome The ReMemberers, presenting a unique multi-disciplinary mythic presentation of the ancient folk tale “The Firebird”, featuring multi-instrumental virtuosity, dramatic recitations and trance rhythms Sunday October 11th at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm with the show beginning at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $20.00 and are available at the link below and in Alamosa at The Green Spot, 711 State Ave. The concert will also stream live on both the Society Hall Facebook page and You-Tube channel.
The ReMemberers are a multidisciplinary trio weaving ritual storytelling, global song, and multi-instrumental virtuosity into an experience that feels part theater, part concert, part ceremony. Violet Southard's numinous voice, Alex Harvey's resonant strings, and John de Kadt's percussive tale-telling create an atmosphere where ancient myths breathe again — told, sung, and drummed into presence.
John carries handpan, kanjira, cajón, and water drums, and has played and recorded with Krishna Das, collaborated with Mickey Hart, and spent years alongside Robert Bly in the mythopoetic storytelling world. Alex plays satar, baglama, harmonium, shakuhachi, and mandolin.
Each gathering begins with an inherited wisdom tale and unfolds as a journey inward. Musical traditions from across the planet converge in this awakening of ancient folklore. The ReMemberers, in partnership with their audience, rekindle one of humanity's oldest customs: coming together to listen, imagine, and be transformed.
About The Firebird
A Russian folktale dating back ten generations is revived this season in a fresh retelling. In a forest gone silent, a young Huntsman finds a single golden feather blazing on the path before him — a feather shed from the burning breast of the Firebird, the most extraordinary creature in all the world. Against the counsel of his talking horse, he takes it. And from that one moment of ambition, everything unravels.
Task by task, a tyrannical ruler — the ego made sovereign — escalates his demands on the obedient Huntsman who stumbles deeper into complicity with the authoritarian regime. The Huntsman makes one compromise after another until he can no longer remember where his own will has ended and the tyrant's began.
Courage won't be enough to answer that call. Neither will serenity. Only a willingness to be completely undone.
This is a thousand-year-old Russian folktale. It is also a story about right now.
The ReMemberers bring this ancient tale to life through voice, world percussion, and acoustic strings in a ninety-minute performance that feels equal parts theater and concert. An evening that will remain with you like an old friend returning home.
