Prana Trio

Prana is a Sanskrit word translating into breath, vital energy, or life force. Yet, its meaning goes beyond these descriptions as it refers to the primary energy of the universe. Prana Trio, or Quartet as of recently, was established to transfer this universal idea of breath into a format based around musical improvisation. Since 2003, the group has been dedicated to exploring original compositions and improvisations based on the texts of Rumi, Hafiz, Lao Tzu, Kukai, Shankarcarya, Kabir, Issa as well as others. They have toured throughout the United States and Germany and have had the honor of playing with Ran Blake, Frank Carlberg, Dave Fiuczynski, Ben Monder and Stomu Takeishi
