Music for healing at Lapis Sky
SEQUIM — An evening of Celtic song, chants from around the world and music for healing comes this Tuesday as Laura Berryhill and Anton Mizerak give a concert at Lapis Sky Yoga, 803 Carlsborg Road.
Admission is a suggested donation of $10 to $20 for the 7 p.m. concert, while information is available by phoning 360-461-1709.
Both Mizerak and Berryhill are from Mount Shasta, Calif., and have brought their music to some 400 venues in 10 Western states.
Mizerak is visiting friends in Sequim and “wanted to know if I’d like to have a concert of transformational music at the studio. I listened to some of his music and it sounded wonderful,” said Cheryl Bell, owner and yoga instructor at Lapis Sky.
“It’s very short notice,” she added, “but we just put this date together.”
Tuesday night’s concert will travel from Mizerak’s music and Berryhill’s songs and chants to mythological stories from the Celtic, Buddhist and Hindu traditions.
Mizerak, who plays the tabla, keyboard and harmonica, writes his music outdoors, believing that the experience of sun, wind, water, snow and Earth, transmitted through music, nurtures and heals people.
His CD series “When Angels Dream” is used by healers and massage therapists.
Berryhill, a singer who studied 17th-century Italian sacred music while earning her master’s at the University of Oregon, explores a variety of styles these days, from jazz to folk songs of the Celtic cultures.
She has appeared at Oregon’s Faerieworlds festival, the Oregon Country Fair and the Festival of Harps in Oakland, Calif., among other gatherings.

1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, or at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10; both audition sessions will be at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave.
“It’s an incredibly fast-paced production all about love,” said director Pat Owens. “If you’re the sort of actor who likes running your tail off, changing characters (and costumes) in the blink of an eye, singing a song like there’s no tomorrow and having a heck of a lot of fun doing it, then this is the show for you.”

Auditions will consist of cold readings plus the singing of one verse from a song of the performer’s choice but not a number from “I Love You.”
Owens and musical director Valerie Lape will bring “I Love You” to OTA from Jan. 30 through Feb. 15.
