'Monologue' gong concert

'Monologue' is a special concert that we organize annually with dedication. For one hour, one instrument takes center stage: the majestic 50” Paiste gong, played by Andy. What once began out of passion and curiosity has grown into a unique experience: showing that a gong can do much more than the familiar ‘boing’ sound. With attention to finesse, subtlety, and depth, this concert reveals the richness of sound and the healing power of the instrument. Let yourself be carried away by resonance and vibration, to become still, to feel, and... to experience the gong in all its nuance. An hour of pure listening, letting go, and inner balance. An invitation to discover the gong in a deeper, healing way. A yoga mat, blanket, and pillow will be ready for you upon your arrival. So you don't need to bring anything yourself. Biografie Andy Vanbeveren is passionate about music and its effects on people. What once started with singing bowls and gongs has since grown into a collection of more than 300 instruments. Native American Flute, didgeridoo, handpan, tongue drum, all kinds of percussion and drums, numerous string instruments, piano, and many other world instruments belong to his unique collection. He completed various training programs both at home and abroad and had the privilege of learning from many great 'masters' in their field such as Hans de Back (singing bowls), Shree Krishna Shahi and Santa Ratna Shakya (singing bowls), Don Conreaux (gongs), Michael Telepary (Native American Flute), Nestor Kornblum (overtone singing),...
