Deep C Resonance with Naomi Watts
Feel the resonance in the stunning surroundings of the baroque Painted Hall as cellist Naomi Watts guides you through a deeply relaxing and uplifting sound healing and lie-down classical concert experience. With Bach cello suites to put a smile on your face and joy in your heart.
The simplicity of the deep C note on her cello is like a grounding call to reconnect. You’ll feel rooted and relaxed, ready to absorb the beautiful sounds of Tibetan bowls and gongs, followed by uplifting and joyous Bach. This experience also features Naomi’s own lopping piece, which will gentle guide you into a rhythmic, trance-like state of calm and restoration.
Thu 11 jun & Fri 12 Jun 2026 | 6.30pm & 8.30pm
Angels
A Lie Down and Listen experience combining the deep resonances of ancient sound healing instruments and rich bass voices with ethereal baroque masterpieces on violin, reflecting the otherworldly Painted Hall ceiling.
At the heart of this experience are Bieber’s Passacaglia and Marcus Paus’ Wounded Angel, inspired by the striking imagery of Hugo Simberg.
You will leave with a sense of awe and spiritual connection, while feeling deeply grounded.
