In March 2018, the Classic Flow team were invited to play on the lush tropical garden grounds of the Gold Coast’s brand new Home of the Arts (HOTA).
Lara Zilibowitz was joined by the Southern Cross Soloists string quartet and guitarist and vocalist Benny Holloway to lead a chorus of beating hearts in a 90-minute sense meditation.
Before you exit the fast lane and dive into this slow river of mindfulness, please note this is a live outdoor recording and the sound quality is different to what you will find in the studio-produced episodes. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon on the banks of the Nerang River and you will hear the liveliness of game play in the public park in the background, with some wind gusts entering Lara’s microphone.
So many of you who were in attendance have been in touch to ask when you will be able to participate in this class again … so, here we are. We hope you can forgive the blustery wind.
When we turn our attention to a beautiful piece of music we have the opportunity to press pause on time. Where past and future can dissolve into the present moment, and it is here that we can truly savour the rhythm of life.
With this in mind, we humbly invite you to dive deep into Classic Flow LIVE at HOTA.
