SUMMARY:Yin Violin w/ Arturo and Nicola
DESCRIPTION:Led Arturo Hernandez Gomez (of Fiddle & Fern and Desert Opus) and Nicola Lee Kilyushik (Moving Meditation)\, this unique music and movement collaboration begins with gentle breath-work before unfolding into a slow\, meditative yin yoga practice with live violin intuitively woven throughout\, adding resonance and depth to the experience. \nRita Deanin Abbey’s poetry from Seeds Yet Ever Secret will gently guide the class\, deepening the connection between sound\, movement\, and reflection—an expression of the museum’s commitment to creating meaningful\, interdisciplinary experiences rooted in her legacy. \nThe session concludes with an extended\, fully supported savasana and live sound immersion\, guiding you into a deeply calming\, dream-like state that supports nervous system regulation\, clarity\, and renewal. \nNo prior experience is needed; just come ready to slow down\, listen\, and receive. Please bring a yoga mat\, blanket\, water bottle\, and any additional props or supports you may need for comfort. Copies of Seeds Yet Ever Secret are available for purchase in the museum store. \nAges 16+

SUMMARY:Moving Meditation: Tai Chi\, Qi Gong\, and Yoga Nidra Foundations
DESCRIPTION:Experience 90 minutes of mindful movement\, breath awareness\, and deep relaxation\, integrating the healing foundations of Qi Gong\, Tai Chi\, and Yoga Nidra. This immersive session invites you to reconnect with your body and mind through gentle\, intentional practices: \n\nQi Gong cultivates and circulates vital life energy (qi) through slow\, flowing movements and breathwork to support balance\, vitality\, and calm.\nTai Chi builds on this foundation with graceful\, choreographed sequences known as “forms” that promote coordination\, focus\, and inner strength.\nYoga Nidra\, or “yogic sleep\,” is a guided meditation designed to bring the body into deep rest while keeping the mind alert\, enhancing self-awareness\, stress relief\, and emotional clarity.\n\nTogether\, these complementary practices support physical well-being\, reduce stress and anxiety\, improve sleep\, and foster greater creativity and intuition. In keeping with our mission\, this program celebrates creativity\, well-being\, and the meaningful connections that art makes possible. \nPlease dress comfortably in clothes that allow free movement. Bring a yoga mat and any supports (like a blanket or cushion) you may need to feel grounded and at ease. Guests are welcome to bring water however\, no other beverages or food are permitted in the museum galleries. \nAll experience levels are welcome—from first-time participants to seasoned practitioners. \nAges 16+

SUMMARY:Desert Opus – From Romance to Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of chamber music exploring a pivotal moment in Russian musical history. From Romance to Revolution traces the artistic journey from the lush lyricism of Alexander Borodin to the emerging modern voice of Dmitri Shostakovich\, capturing a fascinating moment when Russian music stood at a crossroads between tradition and transformation. \nPerformed by Arturo Hernandez Gomez\, James Anderson\, Deborah Kim and David Warner\, the program features Shostakovich’s Waltz No. 2 arranged for string quartet\, Borodin’s expressive String Quartet No. 2\, and Shostakovich’s youthful String Quartet No. 1. Together\, these works reveal the evolution of a musical tradition shaped by both romantic ideals and a rapidly changing world. Throughout the concert\, musicologist Heather Buffington Anderson will provide engaging commentary and historical insight\, illuminating the cultural currents\, artistic innovations\, and human stories behind these extraordinary works.
