Let the sound carry you where words cannot go.
What to Expect
Enter a spacious and soulful concert weaving together original music, narrative, and atmospheric sound.
A creation story unfolds, accompanied by a rich tapestry of voice, piano, harmonium, drums, bass, flute, and guitar. Between the melodies, elemental instruments like gong, rain stick, ocean drum, and singing bowl evoke the primal textures of earth and sky. This is not theatre. It is not spiritual performance. It is a living invocation of peace, carried by sound and silence alike.
What this is
The Essence
A Sea of Peace is a concert woven with presence —
a contemplative offering of sound, silence, and spoken word.
A Sea of Peace is simply:
– A sacred story told in sound
– A circle of voices and instruments
– A space where nothing is asked of you
– A moment to receive, relax, and remember🕊️ Come as you are.
A collective of musicians devoted to peace through presence
Wisdom-Light Ensemble
Wisdom-Light Ensemble is a group of international singers, musicians, and sound artists from New Zealand, Australia, Russia, Benin, Serbia, Bosnia and Wales. We are united not by style, but by a shared devotion to sound as a sacred language, one that speaks beyond words.Voice is at the heart of our offering – pure, spacious, and unadorned. Layered harmonies, solo voices, and mantra-like refrains weave through piano, gongs, bowls, guitar, and percussion to create a rich tapestry of resonance.We do not perform to impress. We sing and play to open a doorway into stillness, beauty, and the mystery of sound as living story. Each gathering is a gentle invitation to listen, feel, and remember.Presented as a gift to the community, our concerts are offered in the spirit of peace for the soul of the listener, and the soul of the world.
