Meditations and Mysticism Verified listing

Take a moment, take a breath, take time, take care. These words close our upcoming concert series, Meditations and Mysticism, on October 26th and 27th, a program that invites us to find our center and reflect on the wonder that surrounds us.

Medieval mystic Hildegard of Bingen’s chant draws us into this space. Britten’s beloved bestiary composition, Rejoice in the Lamb, celebrates the majesty of all creatures great and small. Philip Glass’s modern minimalism, in the final scene of Einstein on the Beach, delights in the magic of love.

This concert is presented in partnership with award-winning mental health program, Ghetto Therapy™️ , which offers free therapy sessions open to the public for all age groups. Therapy sessions include a healthy dinner, facilitated discussions by guest speakers and exposure to different forms of therapy including Reiki, sound, art, meditation, and yoga.

Our Saturday performance will also feature a fundraiser, celebrating 10 years of making music in Cleveland. There will be raffle baskets, with goods and experiences generously donated by Cleveland businesses and organizations; raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event. Following the performance, you can join us for a reception ($20 suggested donation). We hope you will celebrate with us!
