Lama Tashi, a Tibetan master of sacred Buddhist
chanting was nominated for a Grammy award in February. He has toured
internationally performing traditional Buddhist chants using the
multiphonic "deep voice" techniques.
This event will focus on a new project, being created with musician
friends in Virginia, to transcribe into Western musical notation a
number of chant & prayer melodies as sung by Lama Tashi in normal
singing voice. This event will be a performance of these mantras &
prayer songs set to Western style harmonies, together with a live
performance of the accompanying musical instruments--keyboard, sitar,
recorder, flute, guitar, cello, bass, trombone & drum. There will also
be a teaching on the chants of compassion & wisdom. Participants who
would like to do the chants together with Lama Tashi & the musicians to
bring peace and blessings to our troubled world are invited to arrive by
7:00 p.m. for a practice session. All are welcome to attend!
