Make a joyful noise unto the Lord - Psalm 100:1
Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. - Psalm 81:2
Sonatasia is more than a performance, it is an experience of music and dance which unfolds all around you. There is no stage. The stage is everywhere. Enjoy a wonderful evening as guests at a beautiful private home, where you will meet new people and perhaps make friends, and enjoy a performance experience you will always remember.
