Gualala Arts Promoting public interest and participation in the arts since 1961
Global Harmony is proud to present An Afternoon with Windborne, the internationally acclaimed vocal ensemble hailed as “the most exciting vocal group in a generation.” The concert takes place Sunday, May 3 at 4 pm at the Gualala Arts Center. Tickets are $25 in advance for General Admission, plus $5 day of. Sponsor Tickets with select seating are $100 and available online only.
Renowned for their breathtaking harmonies and powerful arrangements, Windborne is celebrated for their ability to move seamlessly between diverse traditional singing styles within a single performance. Though their repertoire spans continents and cultures, their roots lie deeply in the American folk traditions they grew up singing in New England.
Praised for “the purity of their voices, strength of their material, and attention to detail in their arrangements,” Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter‑Gordon bring a vibrant, unmistakable energy to the stage. Their performances blend artistry with insight, as they share stories behind the music and illuminate the stylistic nuances of the traditions they represent.
Windborne’s dynamic programs draw from a wide range of global polyphonic traditions, including music from Corsica, the Republic of Georgia, the Balkans, Quebec, Occitania, and Basque Country, alongside their extensive catalog of American folk and original works. Their vocal agility and authenticity have been shaped by two decades of studying with master singers around the world.
Their rise to national attention accelerated after a video of the group singing a 19th‑century protest song outside Trump Tower went viral, garnering over a million views and propelling them into full‑time touring. Today, Windborne performs in venues ranging from intimate community spaces to major theaters, all while remaining committed to teaching workshops, educational programs, and guest lectures at universities.
Audiences consistently praise Windborne for delivering performances that are both deeply moving and universally resonant—showcasing the extraordinary power, diversity, and expressive potential of the human voice in harmony.
