Do you ever wish you had a peaceful place to go during your busy week, to rest and rejuvenate? Join vibraphonist Chris Dingman as he takes listeners on a journey to a beautiful place for Transformations, an online space for healing through music. Playing live from his home studio, Chris shapes the music according to the moment and those who are present in it with him.  Each session becomes a unique experience that is both healing and inspiring.

Chris Dingman is a vibraphonist and composer known for his rich and expansive soundscapes. In his captivating solo performances, he casts an enveloping atmosphere with layers of sound – soaring melodies, swirling textures, and undulating pedal tones. It’s an immersive listening experience that many have described as transportive and deeply healing. He has worked for the past two decades in NYC as “an extremely gifted composer, bandleader, and recording artist” (Jon Weber, NPR).

On his journey to becoming a solo artist, Chris documented his improvisations privately for many years, until his world changed. When his father entered hospice care in 2018, he created the 5-hour extended album Peace, recorded as he played it for his father, and ultimately released in 2020. That profoundly emotional experience caused him to re-examine the role that solo performing played in his life and career – imbuing it with an even deeper sense of mission and introspection. Since then, he has brought his special brand of healing music far and wide, from traditional concert venues throughout the US, to retreat centers, meditation and sound healing events, to medical conferences, hospitals, hospice centers, and to live streams worldwide.

 

Beginning February 13th! 2nd Monday at 8pm and 4th Tuesday at 12pm.
