The Zen Monks' symphony orchestra concert at the Coliseum Theater was not only an extraordinary musical event but also a display of the cultural union that defines EAST WEST. Watching an orchestra of Monks perform iconic pieces of European classical music is an inspiring reminder of how art can intertwine cultures—a mission we deeply share.
The community offered an unforgettable experience, captivating everyone with a symphonic concert of the highest quality, where talent fused with spirituality. They surprised us with pieces known to all audiences, such as Johann Strauss's Radetzky March, which resonated in the air, creating a magical atmosphere. Attendees also enjoyed moments of deep meditation, traditional dances full of color and elegance, and celestial chants that elevated the experience. Each element of this event was a celebration of culture and the connection between East and West.
UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT FOR EAST WEST SPACE
One of the most special moments during the journey was when the Zen Monk community visited our space at EAST WEST. Their presence brought a profound sense of spirituality, calm, and peace, creating an atmosphere that resonated deeply with our mission. As they walked through the carefully curated art and design pieces, we felt an unspoken connection—a harmony between the tranquil essence of Zen and the vibrant creativity of our artistic environment. This convergence of spirituality and design not only enhances the aesthetic of EAST WEST but also reflects our commitment to fostering meaningful exchanges between cultures, allowing both Eastern and Western influences to enrich each other.
