June 16 (Fundraiser), July 14, July 28 - Live Sound Sessions @ the Convent (6pm)
Since Cello Yoga began at the Abbotsford Convent in July 2023, we have welcomed over 1000 yogis into our warm and ever-growing community at over 20 events. We are now expanding this offering to include Live Sound Sessions where attendees can sit, lay or move freely on a yoga mat or seat to enjoy the experience music in whatever way they please in a non-guided session. Think of it as a gig / concert / performance / non-guided cello yoga / sound bath - I'm excited to bring this concept to life with you all.
At this session, you will experience 60-minutes of sound / music / songs (you decide!) across multiple genres - all with the intent to foster deep and intentional relaxation. Each session will be include a curated list of works including original compositions for acoustic and electric cello, keyboard and effects pedals and pieces from the classical, folk or contemporary worlds. These sessions are a space where we can get stuck into the music - I plan to explore and pilot new sounds, share more about my composition process, crank the volume up and fill the space with lush sound goodness.
