Bring your pillow, blanket, and most comfortable socks to cozy up among the marble statues to approach 'the seventh gate', Elly Kace’s latest musical offering.

Kace’s five piece ensemble from Brooklyn -featuring crystal singing bowls, synthesizers, guitar, drums, piano and bass - will weave catharsis and regulation through the air in ceremony, cultivating space for participants to feel, release and just be, as the music washes over it all. Fully composed songs from the record will be shared, sprinkled with channeled/improvised soundbath portions, unique to the moment and collection of people at the gathering. Participants are welcome to lie on the floor, nap, snuggle, dance and sing along - this is a radically accepting space.

The evening will begin with tender music from local folk musician Carl Hauck to open our hearts and prepare the space for the soundbath.Following the performance there will be a short community gathering to integrate the experience.

Line-Up:

7:00 pm Carl Hauck
7:45 Elly Kace
8:30 Tea and community

(she/her/they) is a queer sound healing mystic and indie artist living in Brooklyn, NY. Their baroque-pop portals incorporate earthy vocals, sparkling sound worlds and sound medicine to conjure a new paradigm of radical self love. As a lyric soprano, she has sung around the world at venues such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center - but lately you can find her channeling sound meditation performances of her pop songs to audiences in NYC and beyond. 

is a singer-songwriter from Chicago whose latest record, Death Farm, is both poignant and playful—a sketchbook of Americana in decline. Mystic Sons describes it as “a rare work of folk-rock poetry that embraces imperfection while carving out something wholly luminous.” Hauck has released several solo albums and contributed to tribute compilations for both Sufjan Stevens and The Postal Service; he is also a member of the art rock band Sunjacket.
