Songs of Life and Death from the Mountains and Beyond

Join us at AURA in North Beach Village as we welcome @Katie Berns Lee and @Vishnu Ramankutty for an evening of experimental and experiential music that weaves the threads of primal energy, cosmic resonance, and heartfelt storytelling. Songs of Life and Death from the Mountains and Beyond explores the raw and timeless forces of nature, life, and the human spirit through a powerful blend of:

• Opening tea to drop in to the space
• Primal world drums that stir the soul
• Cosmic, classic, and experimental violin, spanning the ethereal to the profound
• Appalachian banjo, evoking the rugged energy of the mountains
• Poetry and passion that invite reflection and connection

With deep intention behind every note, this performance is a celebration of life’s mysteries and transitions.

The evening begins with tea to help us settle and ground in, creating a sacred space for music, meaning, and community.

Come prepared to journey through soundscapes that are both rooted and transcendent—a night to inspire and transform. ✨
