Josh Hooke Piano: Meditative Sound

An intimate recital of classical and contemporary piano music, exploring meditative sounds from JS Bach to Nat Bartsch.

Saturday 12 November | 2-3pm | GPAC Theatre 

This event is intended to allow the listener to engage in a deep listening experience, and to come to this style music however they feel comfortable to do so. Audience members will be seated on stage around the performer, relaxing in bean bags and chairs, while drenched in low blue light.
