Heart Strings - Tenzin Choegyal in concert

An intimate concert with Tenzin Choegyal, Grammy nominee and one of the world’s most celebrated Tibetan musicians.

Tenzin 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. His unique style embraces meditative mantras, joyful folk tunes and spoken word, infused with the essence of Tibetan wisdom and a sound as expansive as the ocean and majestic as the Himalayas. Tenzin’s powerful vocals and connection with his audiences have established him as a favourite on the world music scene. His music brings traditional Tibetan sounds into a contemporary setting, taking audiences on a musical journey which transcends cultural boundaries and reveals ancient wisdoms. Tenzin sees music as a universal form of communication with no boundaries, “like drifting clouds that fly freely over the man-made geographical borders in this infinite space of possibilities”. For Tenzin music is life, no matter where he is. “My music has evolved through my own journey from Tibet to India to Australia and around the world. But wherever I am in the world, my music also connects me to my homeland of Tibet.” Tenzin’s message is uplifting and his obvious joyfulness is infectious.
