Germany (1991 – present)
sToa was founded in 1991 in Germany. Olaf Parusel (composition/arrangement) looked at this time for a new way to connect his musical and philosophical thoughts. He found a voice in Conny Levrow. In the same year the first song “Stoa” was released on the compilation “From Hypnotic … to Hypersonic” (Hyperium). The CD “Urthona” (Hyperium) followed in 1992. This CD sold ten thousand copies worldwide.
Both members worked a lot in other projects in the years before. Conny played the violin for more than ten years and performed in many orchestras. Besides this she sang in some classical choruses and as a soloist. She is familiar with baroque and romantic compositions like G.F. Handel, E. Grieg or Pergolesi.
Olaf was in his childhood a member of the “Stadtsingechor Halle” the oldest chorus of the world. Later he played in many musical projects and bands. He also composed for TV. He studied musicology and philosophy.
In 1994 the second CD “Porta VIII” (Hyperium) was released. This CD is an album with a concept based on the fairy tale “Ariadne et Barbe Bleue” by Maurice Maeterlinck. But Porta VIII is a continuation of the original fairy tale. This album too was selling too more than 10.000 copies worldwide and climbed the mexican charts.

Why would I join a ridiculous group like that? Any sane person knows that Islam isn't a "threat to Europe". And there's fascism in all religions. Anyway sToa sounds really beautiful, I'm glad I found them <3

Want to share your experience or views about Wicca itself (both Gardnerian and Alexandrian), morality, afterlife, theology? http://www.last.fm/group/Wicca I'd like to make this group interesting and big - kind of a society of independent and, sometimes, solitary people who want to discuss some matters and meet other Wiccans. Blessed be.
