Performance
Living traditions in public encounter
Ensemble and solo performance developed through close learning, travel, and sustained relationships with artists carrying North Indian contemplative-song traditions.
Our work
Preservation
through participation.
The work is not divided into culture on one side and contemplative practice on the other. Song, meaning, body, attention, relationship, and place remain connected.
A record of practice
Work already undertaken
The record distinguishes Living Songs programs from the earlier artistic experience that prepared the ground for the organization.
