Award-winning composer Dana Leong leads a quartet of cello, tabla, sitar, and electronics for an entrancing sundown concert in the breathtaking New Museum Sky Room, exploring the healing power of meditative sounds from different traditions joining forces in a union towards oneness with the earth.
Hailing from Japan, China, Haiti, and India – all countries recently affected by earthquakes, also known as “tectonic disruptions” – the quartet musicians of Tektonik come together in a unique collaboration to remind us of our shared destiny and of the need for our compassionate stewardship of Mother Earth. Contemplation, harmony, and healing will meld with the setting sun over the Manhattan skyline.
The evening lineup:
Devirose – Lovingkindness Meditation
Tektonik Ensemble-
Dana Leong – composer, cello, trombone
Suphala – tabla
Neel Murgai – sitar
Val-Inc – electronics
The Locating the Sacred Festival is a 12-day, 25-event arts festival coordinated by the Asian American Arts Alliance.
Located on the top floor of the New Museum’s award winning building, the Sky Room offers panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.
