Songs of the Soul tour Germany and Austria
Songs of the Soul, a concert tour dedicated to Sri Chinmoy’s music, travelled through Austria and Germany from 5-10 May. The concerts were organised and performed by Sri Chinmoy’s students from many different countries.
On this particular tour, concerts were given in Graz, Vienna, Munich and Augsburg. A total of 1500 people came to watch the concerts, which are offered free of charge.

Participating groups included Shamita and Dohai (violin and cello), Mandu and Visuddhi (harp and erhu) and Agnikana’s Group (instrumental ensemble). Each group performs the compositions of Sri Chinmoy with their own musical perspective creating a varied and soulful evening of uplifting music.

Sri Chinmoy himself gave close to 800 public concerts during his lifetime. He felt that spiritual music had a unique capacity to bring people into the heart and away from the mind. He believed that by immersing ourselves in music, we can experience a great sense of inner peace and joy.
Music helps the spiritual seeker to go deep within to get the utmost satisfaction from life, from truth, from reality. The spiritual life, in turn, helps music to offer its capacity and its strength, which is the soul’s light, to the world at large.”
Sri Chinmoy

Songs of the Soul is an going series of concerts offered by the Sri Chinmoy Centre since 2008. The aim of the concerts is to share Sri Chinmoy’s musical legacy and give the public an opportunity to experience this unique musical offering.
