Listeners rave that they “can't believe” these musical journeys are composed on the spot. Quiet Hearts is truly a journey in a musical oasis. What people are saying:“That sounds like ... music from heaven. Well, you could be forgiven for thinking as much, given that what you're hearing is emanating from St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church. But it's not angels singing – it's Quiet Hearts, an intimate musical event like none other. Featuring some of the city's fave professional musicians, you'll get to hear them improvise and create tunes ranging from folk and jazz to new age and world styles. The sounds are so beautiful that you honestly won't even believe everything is composed on the spot (but, we assure you, it is). This is a musical meditation you won't want to miss.”The Daily Secret, Vancouver - http://bit.ly/dailysecret-vancouver-quiethearts“What a joyous accident to stumble upon your performance. The perfect close to any night, an evening of relaxing music that soothes the soul while stirring the heart and mind.”Rev. Peter J RossThings to know We request that you refrain from clapping or speaking between musical numbers at Music Oasis. This facilitates a deeper uninterrupted experience of the music and heightens the level of relaxation and emotion provided. You may arrive and depart whenever suits your schedule during the event. Please take extreme care when sitting and placing bags on the pews. The pews are very resonant and the noises produced when care is not taken can compromise the quality of a perfect musical moment and the recording. You may make a donation at the church when you arrive or depart if that works better for you.
