Garth Stevenson Solo Concert: music - storytelling - film | Presented by beYogi

Thursday June 11, 2026 8:15pm - 9:45pm EDT

Limited Capacity seats available

Garth Stevenson is a double bassist and composer known for creating music in direct communion with the natural world. On a 2010 expedition to Antarctica with biologist Dr. Roger Payne, Garth imitated whale calls on his double bass, attracting a dozen sei whales to their icebreaker. In 2025, he traveled to Baja, Mexico, to play for humpback whales. Standing on a small fishing boat, Stevenson played his bass live through underwater speakers while listening to the underwater sound of humpbacks through hydrophones, creating an environment where they could hear and respond to each other. These interactions were captured by National Geographic director Andy Mann for an installation at the Museum of Natural History in Mexico City.

Join Garth for an evening of music, storytelling, and film at the Berkshire Yoga Festival. He will be playing along with footage and underwater recordings of his interactions with whales in Mexico, telling stories about his time in Antarctica playing music for penguins, seals, icebergs, and premiering music from his new album.
