From playing Accordion to pure serious music

Rituals, procedures, myths and art have been chosen by people to connect with one another, connect with other worlds, and connect with God. We label all these forms of our work with the word "culture". The word "cult" means "worship", and the suffix -ure means "light". Based on this record of our home writer Marie Ana Kolman, we can go on to invite you, along with home and guest artists, to enter our sanctuary of light.
