Yogaconcert | live muziek, poëzie & yin yoga met Sanem Kalfa

A little afraid of her

‘She dares to do anything with her voice,’ Jazznu wrote admiringly. When Sanem Kalfa sings and performs with her cello, she recollects the musical traditions of the Black Sea region where she grew up, while colouring the avant garde of improvised music with her unconventional style. It gave her a warm reception in the likes of the Bimhuis of this world, and the admiration of music reviewers. Her ‘stunning vocals’ (Jazzwise) ‘threaten to steal a show’ (Irish Times), as ‘in every song, Sanem Kalfa seemed to be addressing each member of the audience personally’ (Jazzwise). Pay heed though, as ‘Kalfa’s voice knows how to move and seduce, but sometimes you also get a little afraid of her’ (Jazzflits).

What is a yoga concert?

The calm, meditative but intense postures of yin yoga allow to sink deeper into consciousness, beyond the patterns of the mind. On the yogamat, physical sensations weave together with musical improvisations. The mind becomes quieter, opening space to meet the music and poetry in the heart. In this way, the live improvised music, yoga postures, and mystical poetry intertwine, affect, and strengthen each other into a new experience.
