PROJECT
Presence
Presence is a concert format that combines classical music with mindfulness to create a deeper concert experience. In a world that is more hectic and stressful than ever before, we want to create a space for presence. A concert experience that helps the audience breathe, sense, feel and listen their way to a calm and mindful state of mind. Through music and guided mindfulness, we let the audience reflect on the mutability of our relationships in the world and how we can achieve a strong base in the moment.
