Kirsten McCord on Cello
Join us for an exploration of fluid movement and breath combined with mindful steady transitions - creating a practice that will permeate the unfolding changes in your life. Kirsten McCord will musically guide the way with ambient cello layered into elegant lyrical sounds. As a cellist, producer and composer with an eclectic range of collaborations under her belt (from punk, indie, and electronic music to live art installation performances), Kirsten has performed and recorded with legends such as Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, who released her first solo album on his label, Elliott Smith, Vic Chesnutt, Jarboe (Swans), and for the Tribeca Film Festival Award winning documentary “Give Up Tomorrow”. Adding to her stellar repertoire, Kirsten has become very influenced by her personal yoga practice and the music currently coming out of the New Age and Yoga genre.
How do we get through the dark cloud or the tough patch? How can we grow and even flourish in the face of grief, loss, confusion or a painful transition? We're human, and such experiences are inevitable along the way. To avoid them is to deny the full range of being alive……Life is a dance between friction and freedom. One informs the other and polishes our spirit to be more real and true. When we choose life, we also choose growth.
