about

Kira Skov and Maria Faust have united their unique and diverse musical gifts in a new musical and multimedia endeavour entitled “In The Beginning,”

In early 2016, Kira and Maria rented a car and embarked on a journey through the southern border regions of Estonia. Here, they came upon a cultural universe of vanishing songs and chants, while unearthing long-buried stories of loss, surrender, submission, faith, doubt, and forgiveness.

Both Maria and Kira were deeply touched by the many historical narratives and psychological layers they discovered during the study of the culture of this relatively small geographical region that was to eventually serve as the inspiration and framework for their collective creation “In The Beginning.”
