Bonnie Kane: Transcendent Winds Flutist from Holyoke, MA

"...the algebra of the heart, brain and soul..." - MUSICIAN'S EXCHANGE “... A gateway into another, more ethereal plane...Beauty and otherworldliness.” – Sarah Van Buren, BasilicaHudson.org When you are seeking a beautiful music experience that will instill feelings of calm and well being in your audience, turn to the exquisite flute music of Bonnie Kane's Transcendent Winds. Influenced by the melodic work of wind players Terry Riley, John Gibson ( Philip GLass Ensemble), Theo Travis (Soft Machine), and Paul Horn, Bonnie creates cascading melodies using flute and 5 amplifiers that quiet the rambling mind, and enable a slowing down into the present moment. The 1 - 2 hour performance provides enough time for listeners to enter into a deep relaxation, steadying the breath and clearing tension. Your audience will emerge relaxed and de-stressed, with an overall improved feeling of health and mindset, ready to take on their challenges from a more powerful and centered perspective.
