Healing music presented by Hilltop Center

FALLBROOK — The next event in the Hilltop Center for Spiritual Living Performing Arts Series will feature Celtic guitarist Michael Mandrell and keyboardist, harmonica and tabla player Anton Mizerak. They will present an evening of Mount Shasta/Celtistani transformation healing music on Friday, August 22, at 7 p.m.

Mandrell is known for his transcendent guitar playing. His latest CD, “Notes from Celtistan,” has been featured on Public Radio International’s “Echoes” with host John Diliberto.

Mandrell’s blend of Celtic, jazz and new age music demonstrates just what a six- and 12-string guitar can do in the hands of a real master. Touring with many fine acoustic ensembles as well as solo, Mandrell has shared the stage with such musical luminaries as Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Jenny Bird, Spyro Gyra, William Ackerman and Shadowfax.

Mizerak lives in Mount Shasta and writes his music in nature, believing that an organic experience of sun, wind, water, snow and earth, transmitted through music, can be a valuable nurturing and healing experience.

Mizerak plays keyboards and harmonica. His music has also been featured on “Echoes” and his latest CD series, “When Angels Dream,” has been a top seller with healers and massage therapists. Many people have seen Anton at New Thought Churches, symposiums and retreats over the past 10 years.

The concert will feature Mandrell’s amazing guitar playing accompanied by Mizerak on tabla and harmonica along with Mizerak’s original music and chants and sing-along songs from around the world.

Hilltop Center for Spiritual Living is at 331 East Elder, (760) 723-8291. A donation will be taken at the concert.
