Seekers of serenity are in for a treat
Classical music enthusiasts and seekers of serenity alike are in for a treat as the “Serene Sounds” of the Transposed ensemble come to the Totally Thames Festival in Southwark on September 21st & 22nd at 18:00.
This unique event, hosted by the acclaimed classical Soprano, Eleanor Penfold, who has performed around the world from the Paris Opera to the BBC Proms, alongside the mesmerising playing of concert pianist and chamber musician, Elena Toponogova, promises an immersive fusion of classical music and sound baths, the popular meditative experience where those in attendance relax to the sounds of traditional instruments.
“Serene Sounds” is not just a concert; it’s a transformative experience where attendees will be enveloped in a cocoon of meditative sounds and music, all set within the candlelit hall of the Finnish Church, London. Instead of the usual concert hall format, audience members bring their yoga mats, pillows and even eye-masks and settle down around the performers to enjoy the music in a more relaxed setting. The evening will include enchanting melodies from the works of Debussy, Ravel and Strauss.
“Lying on a yoga mat close to the performers gives a much more immersive experience than the more formal settings that classical concerts usually take place in”, says Eleanor. “The sounds of the Tibetan singing bowls, chimes and bells are the perfect match for these beautiful songs and take you on a real journey.”
“Serene Sounds” has been described by audiences as an “enchanting oasis”, “regenerative” and “the best (& most relaxing) way to end a hard week”.
Tickets for “Serene Sounds” are priced at £20. While yoga mats are available at the venue, you can bring along any yoga mats, pillows and blankets for extra comfort. For more information and updates, follow Transposed on their social media channels.
