Music has inspired and haunted humanity
since the ancient paleolithic caves of the Pyrenees
to the modern stage at Newport.
Sacred sounds within sacred spaces
have enlightened and lifted our consciousness
towards transformation, our spirit towards transcendence,
and like love, our souls towards oneness.
Now more than ever, a new spirit is needed,
and who better to initiate this quest than the original
masters themselves - the troubadours of today.
Like the vast mass longings spanning our globe, a great
gathering of song would be a transforming tempest -
a force of gravity and goodness far exponential to its humble roots.
All that is needed is a focusing, and it is to that end that we initiate
the international Return of the Troubadour song competition.
We invite you to be a part of it.
“Music can change the world.”
Ludwig van Beethoven

"Mayan Mandala" by Paul Huessenstamm

Dear Artist,
At this unique time in the history of our planet, we need to find common ground with all peoples of the earth. As “Playing for Change” so beautifully illustrates, music is a common ground where everyone can meet. We feel it is the musician, artist and creative soul who can help guide humanity’s vision for the future. These guiding principles should not be in the hands of our politicians and corporations.
Every community in the world knows in its heart how to live harmoniously, but those that wield power, or seek to acquire it, do not usually give precedence to the common good. We need a new paradigm of living to step into, and who better to help define this than the Troubadours of our time.
The Troubadours must rise again!
