CLICK ON IMAGE TO HEAR A CLIP FROM THE LIVE PERFORMANCE

A transportive musical experience where you can close your eyes and drift into imagery, contemplation, and the energy of sound.

Naaz Hosseini: voice, violin, and movement
Peter Blum: singing bowls, gongs, tingshas, percussion

Peter Blum and Naaz Hosseini have been creating magical sonic events for years in yoga studios, yurts, churches, art galleries, and most recently, the United Nations. On Saturday, June 17, they will be joined by Ev Mann, percussionist extraordinaire.

Peter will bring his collection of 35+ Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, tingshas, drums, percussion and Naaz will bring her voice, violin, and sculptural movement to provide a dream-like environment for participants to experience healing, guidance and pleasure. The audience is invited to lie down or sit comfortably and “Let the music wash through you”.

A horizontal concert where you can close your eyes and drift into your own imagery and contemplation. Each SoundBath event is fresh – an exploration through vibration to synchronize heart and mind.

Optional: bring your favorite mat or cushion. Conventional seating is available for anyone who needs or prefers it.
