BELFAST — Musical duo Darshan Music are bringing their harmonious chants and drum beats to Belfast on Thursday, Sept.19, from 7 - 8 p.m., at Belfast Yoga Studio. Darshan Music’s take on the ancient practice of Kirtan – simple call-and-response chant to music – offers participants the benefits of yoga or meditation.

Since they combined forces in 2017, Darshan Music members Carla Renzi (drums) and Justin Maseychik (harmonium) have been performing their modern interpretation of this genre at yoga studios, indoor and outdoor venues across the country. They regularly perform in Belfast, Rockport and Damariscotta.

“When people come together to sing and chant, it creates a vibration you can feel after you leave. I leave humming, relaxed, and notice more around me” said one participant, in a Darshan Music new release. Following performances at The Peace Gallery in Damariscotta, another said, “Darshan’s two previous performances here were remarkable. Members and guests alike reported a sense of wellbeing and community.”

Cushions and chairs will be available to the public.

Cash donations are accepted at the door to help further Darshan Musics' mission to continue spreading the profound benefit of community chant. $10-$20 suggested. 

Belfast Yoga Studio is located at 9 Field St., Suite 302.
