Four days, 8 encounters with the harp

Meditation

A meditative musical evening combining harp music, improvisation and early music traditions

An Evening of Harp Meditation

What if, for one evening, we allowed the world to slow down? Two harpists, two distinctive musical worlds, and sounds in which ancient melodies, nature-inspired motifs and the freedom of improvisation come together. Katri Tikka and Ieva Baublytė invite you on a meditative musical journey, where the resonance of harp strings, the melodies of the recorder and moments of silence create space to pause, listen and simply be.

With the creative guidance of a theatre director, they will create a world where music, theatre and imagination meet – and where every sound might begin a new adventure.
