I’m Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) where we study and teach A Course in Miracles and meditation under the guidance of CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki. I’m also a multi-disciplinary artist and curator/producer of music, dance, theater, film and visual arts events and the organizer of the Sufi Dance NYC meetup group. You can explore my music/dance/theater performance photography and video here.

Here is a taste of Mariel Roberts' exquisite and daring musicianship on cello, which will be featured in this Saturday's Crossing Boundaries 17: THROUGH HER EYES in the White Room at CRS!

https://youtu.be/76HhjbfZyEw

“Cellist Mariel Roberts has evolved to become one of the most adventurous figures on New York’s new music scene—one with a thorough grounding in classical tradition but a ravenous appetite for and tireless discipline in new work.” — Bandcamp Daily

The program also features musicians gamin (piri, saenghwang) and Jacqueline Kerrod (electric harp) and video by Sook Jin Jo from her art installations in Brazil and South Korea, including her installation of 304 lights in remembrance of the Sewol Ferry disaster in which 304 people, mostly high school students, died en route to Jeju island, South Korea on April 16, 2014. This concert is dedicated to those beautiful spirits who became stars.

Tickets to the concert are on sale here (and we are very close to being sold out!):

Curated by multi-Instrumentalist gamin, this fifth season of Crossing Boundaries consists of three concerts exploring the theme of WOMEN IN MUSIC performed by female and female-identifying musicians. Following the performance there will be a conversation with the audience about the concert and the theme of gender in the music industry.
