Live Music Meditations

“Musical genre and convention, our tendency towards passivity or judgment — all of that disperses into a pure, perceptive and receptive state of intense, present listening in which the sound that one hears is all that exists in that moment. Meditation brings us to a sort of inner-silence; I find that this silence can be full of music.”

— Dasha Koltunyuk

About Dasha:

Dasha Koltunyuk loved nothing more than attending music meditation sessions during her time as a student at Princeton University. Today, Dasha is the Outreach Manager for Princeton University Concerts, and has found a way to make sessions like the ones she attended as a student something that many others can experience. Dasha started Princeton University’s Live Music Meditation Series in 2015, which has brought many world-class musicians to the university since. A musician, herself, Dasha believes in the power of music to heal and provide opportunities for reflection. Her hope is to allow many other people to experience music meditation.
