About Sons of Korah

Sons of Korah have endeavored to bring a unique con­tem­por­ary fla­vour to a tra­di­tional idea. The bib­lical psalms have pre­oc­cu­pied com­posers and song writers for mil­len­nia. They have been the primary source for the wor­ship tra­di­tions of both Juda­ism and Chris­tian­ity going right back to ancient times. With their unique acous­tic, multi-​​ethnic sound Sons of Korah have achieved an intriguing re-​​creation of the musical drama of the psalms. Sons of Korah have put the Word of God and music together in a dynamic and cap­tiv­at­ing way in order to lead their listen­ers into an impact­ing encounter with the heart of the bible. From lam­ent­a­tion to songs of jubil­ant praise, from battle cry to bene­dic­tion, from exclam­a­tion of awe and won­der to reflec­tions of tran­quil­lity and per­fect wis­dom, Sons of Korah provide a com­pel­ling por­trait of the world and exper­i­ence of the psalms.

Sons of Korah believe that the psalms con­tain a par­tic­u­larly per­tin­ent mes­sage for today. They are the supreme bib­lical por­trayal of the spir­itual life in all its facets and dynam­ics. They speak power­fully to a post­mod­ern world that is gen­er­ally more inter­ested in what the bib­lical faith looks like from the inside than its abstract doc­trinal expres­sion. And for the church today the psalms present a com­pel­ling chal­lenge to the often one-​​dimensional and roman­ti­cized spir­itu­al­ity that we find it so hard to move bey­ond. The psalms por­tray a rich, mul­ti­fa­ceted and real spir­itu­al­ity. They speak power­fully to those who are well acquain­ted both with the sting of a cursed world and the sweet­ness of God’s love and grace in Jesus Christ. The psalms were ori­gin­ally writ­ten as songs and they were inten­ded to be used. They have a role in the spir­itual life and they per­form this role as songs. The best way to med­it­ate on God’s word is to use music and indeed this was one of dom­in­ant ori­ginal pur­poses of the psalms. Sons of Korah invite their listen­ers to dis­cover, through their music, the way in which the psalms can impact our lives today.
