Three artists who communicate beautifully, teaching and inspiring their pupils and audience. An event suitable for children. Also a time to relax and take in some very good vibrations!
PLEASE NOTE: our lovely home venue is located in PARK CRESCENT PLACE - not to be confused with Park Crescent (around the corner)
Inviting participation from a Healthy Concerts audience: "While I play they could count the beat. I would teach them the indian style counting (clap their hands etc.), which is a great way to tune into and focus on the healing vibrations one receives from this ancient Indian stringed instrument." Eva Thompson referring to the Vina. She adds, "I will be playing Indian music on the Vina only... and the Sitar with the band." A band! That was supposed to be a surprise!
