by Dave Eggar Quartet
For cellist Dave Eggar, the parallels between Mozart and yoga reside in the sense of flow and grace we feel in our bodies.
Just as a master musician creates an effortless journey between each phrase of a piece of music, so the yogi is able to flow through sequential postures with natural poise.
Eggar and his quartet members — violinists Rachel Golub, Robin Zeh and violist Ron Lawrence — may very well have found a new avenue for contemporary classical music to travel.
While often presented in modern culture as a relaxation tool — as is yoga — Eggar has always been interested in music as a “complete emotional experience.”
