CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents “Resonance of Water” with SACO & As It Is. Mother Earth is a water planet, and we are mostly water. Let’s flow together to celebrate this season communing with water. It would be wonderful to feel each other’s “water” with music!

An eleven-piece, cross-genre music ensemble, SACO & As It Is creates an uplifting and soothing sound experience that unites people spontaneously. Improvisational movements and Whirling Prayer add a visual experience to this music.
