The Hidden Influence of Sound: An Immersive Sound and Wellbeing Experience with Tessa Ann @ Roe Valley Arts Centre Auditorium - Friday 21 August 2026 - 7.00-9.00 pm

The Hidden Influence of Sound An Immersive Sound and Wellbeing Experience with Tessa Ann Sound surrounds us every day, yet most of us rarely stop to consider how deeply it influences the way we feel, think and experience the world around us. Why do certain sounds instantly help us relax while others capture our attention, evoke memories or stir emotions? Why can two people hear exactly the same sound and have completely different experiences? Join Tessa Ann for a unique immersive evening exploring our relationship with sound through stories, observations, reflection and a deeply relaxing sound experience.

Through listening, reflection and immersive sound, the evening offers an opportunity to explore your relationship with sound in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Following the sound experience, there will be an opportunity for reflection and discussion, offering fresh perspectives on the role sound plays in our lives, our memories and the environments around us. Whether you are attending your first sound experience or returning for another evening of immersive sound, this event offers an opportunity to relax, listen and perhaps discover something new about your own relationship with sound. What to Expect The evening begins with a gentle exploration of sound through listening, reflection and live demonstrations before moving into an immersive sound experience. Featuring crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, drum, chimes, percussion and voice, the evening invites you to slow down, listen and become more curious about the sounds that shape your everyday experience. Every participant experiences sound differently, and there is no right or wrong way to experience the evening. You are simply invited to listen, notice and explore your own responses to sound.
