Mystical Symbolism and Music:
A Salon de la Rose Croix Lecture and Concert.
Brother Tony Crisos and Brother Angel Millar will present a lecture and concert fashioned aesthetically after the famous Salon de la Rose+Croix movement which took place in Paris, France, between 1892 and 1897.
The short introductory talk will be on the Salon de la Rose Croix and on the relationship between music and spirituality. A musical performance will follow the lecture, with four original compositions by Brother Crisos utilizing, in the music, the Hermetic Laws as they appear in the Kybalion and inspired by the Orphic, Hermetic and Rosicrucian traditions.
