3 different workshops

Saturday 21 August 7PM – 9.30PM

Warrandyte, Melb. Vic.

Jethro and Prem Williams travel the world performing live, the music of Sacred Earth. In August, they will share their divine performance with us once again in Warrandyte (Victoria).

Through her divine voice, Prem shares with us her heart felt devotion through mantra and song. She is supported by world class multi-instrumentalist, and husband, Jethro, playing a variety of flutes from around the world including Shakuhachi (Japanese flute), Indian Bansui, Irish Tin and Low whistles and acoustic guitar.

A Sacred Earth performance will lift your spirits at the same time take you to the depth of your being.  Prem and Jethro’s magnificent sounds delight us with sacred mantra and songs from the heart.

Sacred Earth’s music is heard around the world in lounge rooms, offices, cars, massage studios, yoga studios, and is used for mediation, healing, spa resorts and even in the film industry. The music evokes feelings of well-being, peace and calm in any situation. Inspirational and uplifting, the sounds of Sacred Earth takes the listener on a deep inner journey. The stillness that is discovered during their concert performance is profound, often moving listeners to tears by the sheer beauty of the music.

“Their live performance is truly a beautiful experience”

In 2004 Sacred Earth began touring Australia, in the short time since, they have been embraced by the the world,  playing to sold out concerts around Australia and overseas.  In that time they have recorded 5 superb albums selling over 70,000 copies. Their albums continue to receive rave reviews in publications including “Women’s Day”, “Australian Yoga Life “, “Wellbeing Magazine”,  “Living Now”, “The Art of Healing”, “Nature & Health”, “Music & Wellness-Italy” and more…..

Dear Friends,

I would like to warmly invite you and your friends to attend a special charity concert for Elias, which I am hosting through my not-for-profit music organisation, ‘Sounds Original’ (www.myspace.com/soundsoriginal).

The purpose of hosting this concert is to raise money for a communication device (estimated cost $15, 000) for Elias James Mangos, who is eight years old, lives at Redland Bay and is confined to an electric wheel chair due to suffering Cerebral Palsy Spastic Quadriplegia. According to his mum, Kiki, Elias has already undergone eight operations in his short life and is currently preparing for his ninth operation. The concert details are summarised below:

Event: A Sounds Original Concert For Elias

When: Sunday July 25, 2010 – 2pm-5pm

Where: Victoria Point Sharks Club (325 Colburn Avenue, Victoria Point)

Tickets:
Adults = $30 each (includes afternoon tea)

Children = $10 each (includes petite snacks)

The July Sounds Original concert will be held at the Victoria Point Sharks Sporting Club (Colburn Avenue, Victoria Point) on Sunday July 25 from 2pm-5pm. The tickets are $30 per adult and $10 per child, with a portion of the money going towards providing everyone with afternoon tea. Adults will be served delicious mixed sandwiches, cupcakes, tea and coffee, while children will be provided with petite snacks like mini hot dogs, hamburgers and pigs in blankets.

Tickets can be organised by contacting me (Aislinn,0428 191 986). Alternatively you can purchase tickets at reception of the Shark’s Club.

Confirmed artists appearing at this event include Mark Bono, Young Smith, Chris Tran with Kristy, Jaime Wells and of course myself as the Founder of Sounds Original. All the musicians are donating their time for free.

Small deeds can make a real difference in a person’s life. As beautifully said in the following quote:

“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”
-William James

Thank you for your continued support of Elias and Sounds Original. I really appreciate it.

Much Love,
Aislinn xo
