Songwriter-Guitar and Singing Drum Concerts
Week of July 31, 2021
Singing Drum
The Singing Drum (or HANG) is a soothing sound sculpture of rhythm and harmonics. Karl Anthony is on staff in a Healing Arts program for a children’s hospital and he plays this unique and beautiful instrument for recovering patients. You will experience how it expresses a deep and profound calming element which is guaranteed to revitalize and nurture your whole body and spirit.
The HANG is a relatively new instrument inspired by the steel pans of Trinidad; the first prototype crafted in Bern, Switzerland. Jennifer Brandt, our artist-in-residence, will start a painting project while we listen to the singing pan.
Karl Anthony is a songwriter and singer; and a facilitator and advocate for the healing potential with music. Karl leads international service trips to Thailand and has received several Gandhi/King Season for Nonviolence Peace Hero awards for his humanitarian efforts and innovative music performances. He creates anthems of hope and believes music can be a catalyst for positive change. When Karl is not on the road touring, his music is influenced by his unique experiences working with the Healing Arts Department at Children’s Hospital in San Diego. Karl’s music and his career cross countless boundaries and is truly an international language of service and joy. On the Web: karlanthony.com
