This immersive, holistic musical experience features the work of one of the greatest composers in Western music, Johann Sebastian Bach. Created by violinist Michael Jamanis, it blends live music performance with intentional breathing, spoken word, mindfulness, and community meditation.
​

More than a concert, Breathing with Bach invites audiences to slow down, listen deeply, and experience Bach’s music as a source of reflection, connection, and renewal—a doorway to what Jamanis describes as a “connection to the field of loving kindness.”
​

The experience:

• Live performance of J.S. Bach’s works

• Guided breathing and mindfulness practices

• Spoken-word reflections

• A contemplative, welcoming space for all

• An opportunity for shared stillness and community
​

The price of admission is on a sliding scale ($20 - $40)
