Sonia Loinsworth gives a concerts series celebrating 15 years of concerts in the Tomba Emanuelle in Oslo on September 1, 2, 3 & 4, 2009. 

This event has become a bi-yearly happening, and Sonia has performed a few sold out concerts every spring and fall since 1994 in the magical acoustic soundscape of Tomba Emanuelle.

We mark this special event with a Special Guest: the Indian bansuri-flute player Sameer Rao

There will be one free CD of choice with Sonia's music for all guests.

Tomba Emmanuelle contains the masterpiece "Vita" by the famous Norwegian artist Emanuel Vigeland. With a natural reverb of more than 40 seconds, you can hear Sonia Loinsworth sing up to 3 voices with harmonic chant simultaneously. She performs songs from the new album "Guru Rinpoche Mantra", and more recent, yet unrecorded compositons. The mausoleum is covered with Vigelands artwork from roof to floor, and gives an extraordinary space for this musical meditation. Welcome to a contemplative concert with harmonic chant and Tibetan Buddhist Mantras.

NY ARTIKKEL LAGT UT HER   Sonia skriver en artikkelserie om sammenhengen mellom musikk og spiritualitet i de store verdenstradisjonene for det norske magasinet Visjon.  Fokuset ligger på hvordan mennesker i ulike kulturer har brukt musikk som en kanal for åndelig praksis. Artiklene gjengis her etterhvert som de har stått på trykk.  Den 10. artikkelen i serien fokuserer på noen av de ekstatiske former for mantrasang. Artikkelen beskriver Kirtan, Bhajans og Tibetanske Mantra; og er nå lagt ut her.

Sonia Loinsworth gives concerts with her own compositions for  Tibetan Buddhist Mantras. She combines vocal techniques from classical northern Indian music, harmonic chant and Gregorian chant into a contemplative musical expression; and combines her musical work with a meditative practice.

Sonia has released two critically acclaimed Cd's with new compositions for some of the Tibetan Mantras. These are in use by practitioners of meditation, in Yoga classes, and as support in various kinds of workshops. 

In concert, Sonia focuses on the deepening potential of the Mantras, and gives both soloconcerts and plays with musicians who have been trained in the classical northern-Indian tradition.   See the concert dates here

Hit: 5 Stars
Where more popular artists in the mantra-world rely on a rather watered down and sugary presentation of these ancient sounds, Sonia Loinsworth makes them western and yet preserves all the depth and healing power.

This norwegian singer and practising buddhist has a deep and rich voice, well schooled technically and sings with both passion and a spirituality that transfers to the listener. She uses multitracked vocals, sounding like a whole monasrty! backed by inventive keyboards by Frode Fjellheim.

I have used this CD a couple of years for meditation and healing purposes and it's as enriching and profound today as the first time I heard it.

Dear Friends,

Many people have asked me about the concert clip from the Cathedral of Nidaros (you can view it to the right on this website), and I would like to share this story with you.
When the TSUNAMI hit Southern Asia on Dec. 26th 2004, many norwegians were affected by it. Many experienced a strongly traumatic day that turned into weeks and months, when their beloved ones never returned from the raging waters of the holiday paradise of Thailand.
