Yoga with Anna Petersen & Raphael Weinroth-Browne
Greet the day and treat yourself to a gentle outdoor yoga practice while soaking up the sounds of local cello favourite, Raphael Weinroth-Browne. In the first of two yoga-enhanced concerts of the summer, you’ll hear Raphael’s gorgeous ambient compositions and classical selections. Led by Anna Petersen of Passionflower Yoga, this practice is inclusive and accessible for every body. (When not on her yoga mat, you can find Anna on stage as a professional oboist with the NAC Orchestra.) Bring a yoga mat –or chair– and enjoy a morning of music-filled mindfulness on the gorgeous grounds of Ottawa City Hall (or indoors in case of inclement weather).
Be sure to catch Raphael and Anna at other Chamberfest performances, including Angela Hewitt’s Mozart and Brahms (Anna is in the orchestra!) and Raphael’s featured Chamberfringe show!
