SUMMARY:Sound Bath - Sacred Minimalism
DESCRIPTION:Artists’ Vocal Ensemble (AVE)\, under the direction of Jonath
 an Dimmock\, is excited to present a Sound Bath event at Grace Cathedral\,
  engaging its 10 member professional singers with three instrumentalists p
 erforming on world instruments\, plus organ improvisations by Jonathan Dim
 mock. Sound Bath events have been occurring with some regularity in the Ba
 y Area for the past few years\, modeled on the “Liegen-konzerten” conc
 ept from Europe (where the audience is given the option of lying on a mat)
 \; but this is the first known concert\, anywhere in the world\, to includ
 e choral music from the early Renaissance and modern (minimalist) periods 
 within that context. Composers range from Taverner to Tavener\, and includ
 e Sheppard\, Morales\, Gregorio\, Nystedt\, Oldham\, and Pärt.\nGrace Cat
 hedral’s sonic ambience is especially well-suited to this endeavor as it
  creates a sound cloud of reverberation which envelops the listener. By ly
 ing down with eyes closed\, the cognitive aspects of listening to a concer
 t are removed\, paving the way for a somatic experience. The effect is cal
 ming\, and enhances the possibility of entering into a state of contemplat
 ion / meditation.\nIt is the aim of AVE to provide a way of listening to s
 acred choral music outside of a liturgical context\, but still remaining t
 rue to its intent\, namely to be a catalyst to enable inner transformation
 .
