Sound & Spirit ShowsPlease use the links below for further information on individual shows.
Ellen Kushner performs 45-60 minute live re-creations (with script and music CD’s) of several Sound & Spirit programs, usually followed by discussion and Q&A with Ellen. Click on the title for a description of the show:
Most of the programs above can be presented instead as a lecture without music. Two other shows are available as lectures only. Click on the title for a show description: Community ProgramsPicking a theme, such as “Divine Love” or “Meditations on Peace,” the community invites members of different religious and cultural traditions to come together for a live concert where each presents music from their own tradition expressing the theme. Working with information given by the performers — and with her own broad knowledge (and sense of theatricality) — Ellen weaves together a meaningful running commentary throughout the concert. Ellen also lectures on aspects of her personal philosophy as it pertains to the Sound & Spirit show and to her work as a writer and performer. To discuss your community's needs and interests for a special program, please write to Kushner.Ellen@gmail.com. Responses to Previous Appearances
