Dana will be playing 7 out 10 tracks from her Album Indigo. Indigo is a multidimensional experience based on an original body of neo-classical music, composed to interact with color and light, and designed to promote an introspective journey towards your higher self. According to the theory of color by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, “we observed that all nature manifests itself by means of color to the sense of light”. Therefore, by manipulating light and color along with a sound experience, we transform the nature of our surroundings. Essentially, we are able to create the story we want to see unfold.

‍
The show consists of a live performance featuring a chamber orchestra, and a light designer projecting light and color curated to transform any setting. Each piece was composed according to a color scheme in order to capture a mood and a state of being. The objective of this experience is to create and engage with a space outside of the noise that occupies the stresses of everyday life. 💜 ✨
