Every event will feature a different theme usually around your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Words weaved into the meditation will formulate a guided intentional experience that is both healing and relaxing. I'm usually guided intuitively what to bring my attention to. Therapeutic Sound soothes, calms, and quietens the mind, triggering your body's own innate ability to self-regulate and heal. The sound frequencies and vibrations emitted will bathe your mind, body and soul back toward a greater state of wellness and equilibrium. For the remainder of 2024, and so for the next 4 sessions at least, we will be working with BIG CATS. For those of you that regularly attend my sound baths know by now that I adore working with animals and the natural world. They have so much to teach us in a world full of chaos right now! Why Big Cats? I've no idea! When an idea comes to me I just go with it, see what happens and learn and explore during the process . Just as I had working withBird Energy, it is my hope that you will feel so inclined to join me on this journey also! I can tell you that Big Cats encapsulate the energy and fortitude of strength, agility, power, determination, self preservation, and so much more. The individual species come with their own character strengths. It is my hope that connecting with these majestic creatures we too can harness our own inner strengths, determination and enhanced assertiveness.

Then try our free taster workshop! This fun and friendly workshop is designed to give you a quick taste of what our improv classes have to offer. We will run through some basic improv activities and show you what we love so much about improvisation. Plus it's a chance to meet and get to know our wonderful teachers. Best of all - it's free! Age requirement Please note: Our classes are primarily aimed at adults - if you are under 18, let us know and we will confirm if you can attend the class. What is improvisation? Improvisation is any performance where there has been no pre-planning: where there is no script or any detailed outline for the show. However, improv is more than simply the absence of these things. It also represents a process and a philosophy of communication, creativity and connection. It is these skills and ideas which allow performers to work with each other, in the moment, to create amazing and wonderful scenes. Why learn improv? Improv is a fun, challenging art-form which teaches skills which are useful both in everyday life and performance. Improv is invaluable for actors or creatives who want to be faster on their feet and explore their creative processes. It's also valuable for non-performers as it teaches skills relating to communication, confidence and teamwork. Plus, it's fun! Improv is an incredibly accessible art-form, and a well-designed beginner's class will feel friendly and be enjoyable for people from all backgrounds and levels of experience. Why learn with Improv Queensland? We have been teaching people to improvise for over 15 years and have the longest running improvised training programme in Brisbane. We have taught hundreds of people how to improvise, including actors, comedians, caberet artists, CEOs, doctors, barristers, miners, and teachers. Our beginner’s curriculum is a tried and tested product which will give you an excellent introduction to improvisation. We also provide well-regarded intermediate and advanced workshops which provide opportunities for students to take their improvisation further. We also have Brisbane’s most experienced improvisation teachers, with our teachers generally having many years of performance and teaching under their belts. We also operate a constant process of professional development for our teachers including in-house training, feedback sessions and external workshops.

TALON SMITH: Sonata in C minor, Op. 2 - World Premiere Tour Award-winning, 22-year-old pianist and composer Talon Smith will give a premiere performance of his newly published masterpiece, “Sonata in C minor, Op. 2” for solo piano, showcasing his unique voice, mastery of the piano, and ability to evoke emotion through music. Talonwill also perform two of Chopin’s greatest masterworks—Polonaise-Fantaisieand Ballade in F minor. He will then take us on a vivid musical journey through Mussorgsky’s epic magnum opus, Pictures at an Exhibition. Talon’s interpretations of each work are an experience not to be missed. CONCERT PROGRAM: Frédéric Chopin: Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat major, Op. 61Frédéric Chopin: Ballade in F minor, Op. 52Talon Smith: Sonata in C minor, Op. 2 (Fresno Premiere)Modest Mussorgsky: Pictures at an ExhibitionTalon Smith’s Sonata in C minor, Op. 2 is composed using a traditional thematic structure with three movements (sonata-allegro in I, ternary in II, rondo in III). Movement I is a mercurial maelstrom that introduces several “motto themes” resurfacing throughout the Sonata. The tender and vulnerable Movement II holds some of the most deeply touching and beautiful melodies in the classical music canon. Movement III returns to the mood of Movement I, but it is grittier and more calculated. The conclusion of the piece masterfully wraps up what came before while taking on a life of its own. Talon also experimented with the concept of a “motto theme,” a musical phrase that appears throughout various sections of a longer composition. While listening to Talon Smith’s performance of his Sonata, see if you can identify the motto theme and its occurrences throughout. Join us for this exclusive event offering a rare opportunity to be among the first to hear Talon Smith’s Sonata in C minor, Op. 2, performed live by the composer himself. Get your tickets now. The first prints of Talon Smith’s Sonata in C minor, Op. 2 will be available for purchase at the concert. Time permitting, Talon will sign purchased copies after the concert. Keep an eye out for Talon's Debut album featuring his 24 Preludes, Op. 1 and Sonata in C minor, Op. 2 that will be released worldwide on all streaming platforms in 2025.

He commands the piano with superb tone, remarkable timing, and poetic phrasing layered with amazing contrasts of stunning colors. According to classical pianist Eduardus Halim, “This young pianist is extraordinary in many ways—Talon is a passionate musical force with a special and huge talent. He has a distinct voice, a remarkable sense of musical structure, and intense poetry.” Jed Distler of Gramophone highly praised Talon Smith's performances at the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall. He noted that Talon Smith approaches Chopin from a composer’s vantage point, not to mention that of a master pianist with an old soul. Smith’s careful scaling of dynamics, purposefully shaped bass lines, and perceptive textures lifted the music out of the salon and into the opera house, as if there were a great orchestra in tow. Furthermore, he has that rare ability to generate tension at the softest dynamic levels.” Distler continued, “Talon Smith’s two utterly independent hands and acuity in rhythmic pointing stresses line over mass, evoking memories of Josef Hofmann’s legendary 1937 Golden Jubilee performance. Truman Wang of Classical Voice acclaimed Talon Smith's world premiere performance of his 24 Preludes, Op. 1 in Los Angeles, CA. Wang remarked, “The young virtuoso placed his technical mastery at the service of poetry and the singing line. Vladimir Horowitz famously said, ‘There is no shortage of pianists, only a shortage of composers.’ With the new 24 Preludes by Talon Smith (Op. 1) – an astonishing collection of pieces with varying styles and emotions – one finds renewed hope for the future of new music, music that speaks to the hearts of the common men and women, unencumbered by the demands of academia.” As a composer, Talon possesses an extraordinary ability to create musical masterpieces with rich harmonies, lush melodies, and intricate details. Talon’s ability to translate his inner musical visions into compositions that are both fresh and timeless is a testament to his immense musical genius. Talon’s music stands as a beacon of creativity, inspiring both listeners and fellow artists alike. Through his extraordinary gift, Talon continues to contribute to the living tapestry of classical music. Polish Radio praised Talon Smith as both a pianist and composer, remarking that Talon Smith is “an immensely musical pianist with great imagination. You hear his gift as a composer in his analytical approach to musical matter.” KEEP IN TOUCH WITH TALON SMITH ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Subscribe to Talon Smith's YouTube channel: @TalonSmithPianistComposerFollow Talon Smith on Instagram: @TalonSmithMusicFollow Talon Smith Facebook: @TalonSmithPianistSubscribe to Talon Smith's E-mail list:TalonSmithMusic.comTHINGS TO KNOW: No Audio or Video Recording will be allowed at the concert.
