Omkara is a spontaneous improvisational musical collective that emerged in July 2024 when we played at Grace Cathedral, collaborating with San Francisco's Illuminate The Art's spectacular laser light show - from the caverns of the cathedral emerged a dance of light and colour, sound, and silence,.. echoes of intimacy.

We are four people who love music, deep listening, and silence in motion. We create in the moment, and you are part of that moment.
