Kairos.
Our goal with this programme is to emulate an experience known as Kairos: time stands still. Like how a person can stand still. Full attention to that which is really important. The focus is not in the past or in the future, nor elsewhere. Here and now. And the silence trickles through the music.
A meditation to contemporary music.
