He brings together this background with a host of studies and influences from around the world, in service of taking listeners on a journey to a transcendent place.Working in the fields of jazz, experimental, and world music for decades, Chris’s trajectory changed when, in 2018, his father entered hospice. Chris played and recorded meditative music as an act of care for him in his final months of life. This music became the 5-hour extended album Peace.Since then, Chris has brought his special brand of healing music journeys far and wide, from live sessions at Omega Institute and The Rubin Museum of Art to his regular online series Transformations and Transformations for Grief, his work with the Psychedelic Sangha, music for mediumship, and much more. His critically acclaimed albums Journeys vol. 1 and vol. 2, are described by The New York Times as “hypnotizing,” and by Jazz at Lincoln Center as “absolutely beautiful.”Chris has presented talks and performances at the Gold Foundation Conference on Humanism in Medicine, the American College of Physicians, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (NYC), and written for the Johns Hopkins Medicine blog. He has been profiled by NPR, the New York Times, AMNY, and many other publications, and has received fellowships and grants from Chamber Music America, New Music USA, South Arts, and the Thelonious Monk Institute.More at chrisdingman.com https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/631f0f30-fd7b-11f0-8070-6f6a6e86ddbc-rimg-w1109-h740-dc050013-gmir.jpg For those in financial needA limited number of reduced-rate tickets are available for those who would not be able to attend otherwise.
