A Benefit Concert with Krishna Das to Support Orkestai Farm and Elija Farm – SOLD OUT

Saturday, Oct 6, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT

This event is SOLD OUT

This kirtan is a live event rendition of KD’s new album PEACE OF MY HEART, to be released mid October 2018. This event is brought to you by the Kirtan Wallah Foundation. We would like to especially welcome autistic children, young adults and their friends and families. Of course anyone else who would like to attend are welcome too!

Here are a few words about this new music from KD:

“Many times over the years, I’ve been asked if I could record longer versions of the chants that I have been doing. I have a dear friend who works with children with autism and special needs. She teaches them yoga using my CDs. The chanting has a soothing and relaxing effect on the kids, cooling them out and also helping them to connect deeply.  But when the chants sped up, the kids get anxious and became distracted and disconnected. When she told me this, I offered to make longer versions of the same chants but keeping a steady tempo and without speeding up. This recording, done live in the studio with the great musicians that I regularly play with, is the result of her request.”

Ticket Price: $40 adults/ $35 members/ and $20 children
