How did we get from the 18th Century Symphonies of Mozart and Hayden to the Classically influenced harmony and scales of Savatage and Uli John Roth in the late 70s? What connects the violin and bow of Paganini to Yngwie Malmsteen’s Stratocaster and Marshall stacks? What laid the groundwork musically and what set the path in terms of instrumental technique? There are so many connections and commonalities between heavy metal and Western classical music: some examples include certain aspects of rhythm and harmony, the use of percussion, vocal styles, and a whole range of lyrical themes including spirituality both dark and bright, political promotion, political protest, and storytelling of epic grandeur! Through lecture and performance we will explore various pieces and excerpts and demonstrate techniques on various guitars from classical guitar to 8-string electric. Tim will bring it full circle by giving a demonstration of a classical work played on electric guitar, a practice in certain styles of metal, most overtly showing connection and homage!

Mindfulness isn’t so much a tool or technique, but a different way of being. When we pay attention to our present moments, we start to see ourselves and our world more clearly. Instead of being driven by worry, anxiety, or feeling pressured, we begin to choose our responses more wisely. We find our way to a more balanced and centered life, guided by our inner strengths and values rather than old habits and reactions. This 8-week series is a thorough introduction to the art of mindfulness. It’s based on Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn's pioneering work in mind-body medicine originated at the UMass Medical Center. $400-700/sliding scale – <a href="https://mindfulpurpose.com/upcoming-mbsr-classes/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">preregistration required here</a>!
