Through my outreach with Urban Flute Project I have enjoyed many collaborations with friends and colleagues. Lucas, the cellist in Urban Flute Ensemble, has invited me to join him for his musical chanting circles this fall, and this has been a wonderful platform to explore the more meditative aspects of sound-production.

Currently a huge area of scientific and psychological research is focused on the beneficial, healing properties of music. This participatory group affords individuals interested in breath-work, chanting, and meditative music-making a chance to learn from one another and share ideas and experience. Cello-chanting is truly restorative and energizing for everyone involved!

For upcoming workshops and chanting circles, check out Lucas Cello-Chanting website. Admission by donation, with a portion of proceeds directed to the St. Anne’s restoration campaign.
