A restorative and peaceful celebration of creativity, don’t miss out on your opportunity to see one of Brisbane’s most celebrated musicians in a deeply intimate concert for one night only.
Museum of Brisbane presents Tenzin Choegyal: Woven Sounds in partnership with BrisAsia Stories part of BrisAsia Festival, Brisbane’s premier event for cultural placemaking, creative and artistic innovation.
BrisAsia Festival is presented by Brisbane City Council, produced by Sounds Across Oceans. BrisAsia Festival Official Media Partner is SBS.
One of the world’s finest Tibetan musicians and Grammy nominee, Tenzin Choegyal is a master of traditional Tibetan instruments the lingbu (bamboo flute) and dranyen (3-stringed lute), but is best known for his extraordinary vocal ability.
A son of Tibetan nomads, Tenzin feels a particular connection to the music of the high Himalayan plateau and remains dedicated to preserving Tibet’s musical traditions.
At the same time, he effortlessly embraces contemporary music styles, bringing Tibetan music and song firmly into the modern world.
Tenzin takes audiences on a musical journey which transcends cultural boundaries. His obvious joyfulness is infectious and his message is uplifting.
Cye is a composer and multi-instrumentalist whose work delves into many aspects of sound creation. His live and recorded work invokes a deep listening state, drawing audiences into familiar, yet uncharted territories.
His recorded works include the solo EP ‘araya’, the album ‘Sönghellir’ with his project Cave In The Sky (featuring Tunji Beier and Purdie Wood), and a soundtrack album with Lisa Gerrard – ‘The Trail of Genghis Khan’.
