SMCQ Homage Series Sandeep Bhagwati : Prana — Music of Breaths

This page is also available in / Cette page est également disponible en: Francais (French)

This concert offers a deeply emotional, spiritual and immersive experience with four voices and four trombones encircling the audience. With their breaths and sounds, the performers explore the body’s seven yogic chakras in unison, translating them into meditative sound exercises and rituals.

Let yourself be swept away on an inner journey through wandering harmonies and uplifted by transcendent melodies.

Prana is originally a piece for four trombones composed in 2020 during the pandemic by Sandeep Bhagwati, whose work is at the heart of the SMCQ Homage Series. Although each was located in a different city, the four trombonists had been able to play with a common breath, thanks to the breathing exercises of this long comprovisation. Later, in 2022, Bhagwati wrote a piece to accompany Prana, entitled Music of Breaths, this time for four a cappella voices. What these two compositions have in common is their exploration of breath and the sounds it can produce. On this evening, these two works will be intertwined, superimposed and fused into a great musical flow that will open up new perspectives in the way you breathe and listen.
