Overlapping Halos at Sunset Center is part of Monterey Symphony's commitment to Music and Healing. On the heels of a panel discussion about Music and Wellness at Tonkin House (in partnership with Montage Health Foundation) the Symphony is broadcasting its desire to present unique opportunities for people to connect deeply with music. As one of the newest partners of Art Pharmacy, the Symphony is proud to present this collaboration with violinist Edwin Huizinga, Deva Munay, and Damaris (Penny Vieregge) that highlights the power and the hope that exists in this incredible troika of artists.

This concert supports MSO TOGETHER, a series of Community Engagement activities throughout the county. Read more HERE

This project is a collaboration that was born out of a desire to connect through sound, music, and poetry during the isolation of the pandemic. Under a flowering plum tree in Big Sur Canyon, the three artists discovered the interconnectedness which already exists and said—YES!

On their second meeting on a ranch overlooking the Santa Lucia Mountains, the next concept arrived — Overlapping Halos. They laughed and nodded—YES!

The Divine intelligence moving through all creatures is sparked by the illumination of creative projects such as Overlapping Halos. Damaris (Penny) shares the poetry of Hafiz, as translated by Daniel Ladinsky, Edwin improvises on violin, while Deva quietly supports it all with alchemy crystal singing bowls.

Concert is one hour with no intermission
