March 15, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm MDT
Enjoy an evening full of exploration and contemplation at this first-of-its-kind live-to-headphones piano concert and SilentPaddle on Lady Bird Lake.
Crafted by composer and pianist, Murray Hidary, and presented by MindTravel and Rowing Dock, this unique experience combines the joy of gliding along the water in comfortable kayaks and canoes with an immersive musical journey created in real-time and delivered through headphones.
A perfect evening for families, couples and anyone who enjoys the freedom of being in nature while enveloped by beautiful music.
This MindTravel begins with a short introduction and intention-setting at Rowing Dock. Directly following, the group will embark on an easy, 1-mile guided paddle, with the natural beauty of Austin’s hike-and-bike trail and the city’s skyline as the backdrop. As the journey unfolds, Murray will take the MindTravelers on a peaceful, transformative musical journey, crafted in real-time from a grand piano floating in the middle of the lake.
Reserve your headphones and boats today and be a part of a beautiful, first-of-its-kind floating silent piano concert.
MindTravel will provide the wireless headphones.
On March 8th, pricing increases by $10/ticket.

ABOUT MINDTRAVEL
Music is a catalyst for transformation, clarity, connection and purpose. And music is at the core of MindTravel, an immersive music experience created by Murray Hidary. Hidary, a composer, pianist, visual artist, tech pioneer, entrepreneur and physics lover, created MindTravel in 2014 after finding that music helped him heal after the tragic death of his sister. Now, he is on a mission to share music’s healing power with others and make it the centerpiece of a multi-sensory meditative journey.
“MindTravel is an experience like no other. Imagine a concert pianist improvising beautiful, peaceful music with imagery in the background that matches the beauty of the music — combined, it is almost meditative or trancelike.” – Jason Wachob, Founder of mindbodygreen
