Lie Down and Listen at St Canice’s Cathedral

9th of July- Experience at 5.45pm and 8pm.

For the first time, London-based pianist and founder Christina McMaster brings Lie Down and Listen — the blissful Tibetan bowl sound healing and lying-down classical concert experience — to Kilkenny, Ireland, within the striking and expansive surroundings of Saint Canice’s Cathedral.

As you enter the cathedral, the beauty and stillness of the space surrounds you. A sense of awe may wash over you before you are gently guided to your place on soft mattresses, cushions and blankets.

From here, Christina guides you into deep relaxation and deep listening, allowing you to feel the pure and resonant vibrations of Tibetan bowl sound healing followed by live classical music with emotional rhythm and harmonies of live classical piano.

You won’t just hear the music, you’ll feel it.

At the heart of the experience is Philip Glass’s Metamorphosis — the transformative five-movement work. Hypnotic and deeply moving, the music captures a life experience, with the inner movements generating energetic and rhythmic drive, passion and at times relentlessness, before settling into the stillness and reflective state of the fifth and final movement..

You’ll leave feeling rested, connected and perhaps even transformed.

When you attend a Lie Down and Listen experience, you open yourself to the possibility of inner peace, freedom and light.
