Composer Jin Hi Kim presents Cross-Cultural Music Meditation Workshops

Cross-Cultural Music Meditation is
a bi-cultural exposure to the basic aesthetics and concepts of Asian philosophy, music, and instruments enabling contrasts to Western music
and creative thought.  Through the sessions, participants gain
first-hand experience of the role music plays in meditation and the
benefits it offers to develop a calm, focused group experience. 


Individuals and groups (up to 10) are encouraged to sign up for the

workshops, which will be offered again in April and May. 

Workshop time can vary, according to participants' schedules. Please call Susan at 860-447-2501 to find out more.

Music meditation, directed byJin Hi Kim, above,
includes a group chant (sonic text) and a creative music ensemble
through listening and playing various Asian percussion instruments.
These instruments (singing bowls, finger cymbals, temple block,
harmonium and clappers) have an historic role in various Asian
meditation practices. These workshops are presented with support from the Department of Economic and Community Development,
Connecticut Office of the Arts which also receives support from the
National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Each workshop session involves 10 participants and takes place over five consecutive days. Workshops takes place Monday through Friday, March 24-28. Two different sessions are offered: from 9 to 10 AM, and  6 to 7 PM, although workshop time can be adjusted to fit participants' schedules. Fee: $50.  

Special sessions / times can be created for your group.
