“Utterly blissed out”
– The Financial Times
Lie Down and Listen is coming to Limerick for the first time, with the deeply restorative lying-down classical concert experience inside the magnificent setting of Limerick Anglican Cathedral.
As you step inside the cathedral, the vast architecture and quiet atmosphere of the space begin to slow the pace of the outside world. You’ll be invited to lie down on soft, luxurious mattresses, surrounded by cushions and blankets, as you’re guided into a state of deep relaxation.
From here, pianist and founder Christina McMaster gently guides you into a deep listening, state allowing you to feel the pure vibrations of Tibetan bowl sound healing merging with the flowing emotional beauty of live classical piano.
You won’t just hear the music, you’ll feel it.
At the heart of the experience is Philip Glass’s Metamorphosis — the transformative five-movement work. Hypnotic and deeply moving, the music captures a life experience, with the inner movements generating energetic and rhythmic drive, passion and at times relentlessness, before settling into the stillness and reflective state of the fifth and final movement.
You’ll leave feeling rested, connected and perhaps even transformed.

Founder and Classical Pianist Christina McMaster noticed that it wasn't only the rituals of classical music concert halls that led to a disconnected listening experience, but in daily life, we are experiencing more disconnection than ever, leading to loneliness, anxiety, stress, sense of emptiness etc.
Lie down & Listen began after a chance meeting with Prof. Sir John Strang and a series of events at Kings College London to recreate the wellbeing benefits of a hallucinogenic experience without hallucinogenics- but simply using a certain combination of music in a lying down concert experience as they did in the 1960’s in downtown New York loft apartments where music of Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Steve Reich - also known as the New York Hypnotic School. After training in sound healing, Christina then evolved the meditation, sound healing and lying down concert experience of today which creates space for deep relaxation and for listeners to reconnect within.

"Powerful healing experience. Body tingling all over with energy moving and incredible feeling of lightness"
"Total immersion and resonance"
"I felt so relaxed and was made aware of a lot going on in my body and space"
"Blessed to share these moments with people who love and let love in"
The sound bath element cleared so much from my mind. I felt connected at that point on a different level - it was other worldly"
