Breathing with Bach
Music • Mindfulness • Community
An Immersive Musical Journey
Breathing with Bach is an immersive, holistic musical journey featuring the timeless works of J.S. Bach. Created by violinist Michael Jamanis, the project blends live performance with intentional breathing, spoken word, mindfulness, and community meditation.
More than a concert, Breathing with Bach invites audiences to slow down, listen deeply, and experience Bach’s music as a source of reflection, connection, and renewal — a doorway to what Jamanis describes as a “connection to the field of loving kindness.”
“Music is a path to presence… with ourselves, with each other, and with the world.” — Michael Jamanis
