Weaving sonic tapestries with didgeridoos, tuba, gongs, flutes, kalimbas, drums, bells, bowls, and more, Sean Murphy's sound meditation journeys are more than concerts, but wellness practices for relaxation and self-care. Some listeners have described Sean’s improvisations as “sound acupuncture” and “a cell-altering shamanic journey.”
The concert lasts approximately 90 minutes. There will be traditional concert seating as well as an area to lie down and spread out. If you’re so inclined, you are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, blankets, pillows, or anything else you need for your comfort. The more comfortable you are, the deeper the experience.
