“Te Deum was a quest for something evanescent, something long lost or not yet found, a quest for something believed to be non-existent, but so real that it exists not only within us but beyond our being as well.” —Arvo Pärt
Arvo Pärt has spent a lifetime exploring the purity of sound and the luxury of silence. Experience music that stems from and returns to stillness, and join us for a pre-concert meditation workshop to deepen your understanding.
This free event features Meditating with Music – an optional pre-concert introduction to meditation workshop with Patty Dodd, Natural Meditation Group leader.
