SUMMARY:November Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:Join Soprano Moira Murphy for a centering session through this unique sound bath experience. Combining guided meditation with soprano vocals and drone and percussion instruments from around the world\, Moira creates an ethereal soundscape to encourage relaxation and spiritual introspection. Music will range across improvisations\, chants of 12th century mystic Hildegard von Bingen\, Appalachian folk tunes\, and original compositions. We will be focusing on the robust joy of midsummer\, celebrating the explosion of green and life around us in this beautiful place we call home. \nHer Medieval Sound Bath installment of this event received the Sound Design Award at this year’s Asheville Fringe Fest (and was sold out twice) so you don’t want to miss this! \nFloor cushions will be provided\, but feel free to bring your own or your own yoga mat. \nHow To Register: \nhttps://www.moirasmountain.com/event-details/november-sound-bath \nCost: 20.00 per person \nLocation: Classroom/meditation space\, 2nd floor \nContact: moiras.mountain@gmail.com \nAbout Moira: \n\nMoira Murphy is originally from East Tennessee\, but has lived and performed all over the country. Her path has taken her across opera stages\, on stage with orchestras\, jazz combos\, indie\, rock\, goth\, and metal bands\, behind the piano\, and to the conducting podium. She is currently a music director\, music teacher\, and arranger living back in the hills and hollers. Her arrangements of the chants of 12th century mystic Hildegard von Bingen have transformed from a recital into a full sound bath experience\, which has blossomed into appearances around the country and recordings available online. Her debut solo album\, ‘A Trembling Flame\,’ as well as guided meditation tracks\, are streaming on Spotify and YouTube.
