About MindTravel
MindTravelâs mission is to move people to greater purpose in their lives through music
MindTravel presents its signature Live-to-Headphones âSilentâ Piano Concert experiences year-round in iconic indoor and outdoor spaces.
Using a simple but innovative formula of music + mindfulness + nature + community, MindTravel is bringing people together coast-to-coast, north to south, all throughout the year. From concerts on Miami Beach under the full moon to summer sunset gatherings on the beaches of California, MindTravel seeks to create community wherever the piano is planted.
Whether itâs for 100 people or 1000 people, this magical experience takes audiences on a profound journey as composer and pianist Murray Hidaryâs real-time compositions are beamed directly into the MindTravel headphones that the audience wears.
Itâs a perfect way to take in the majestic surroundings while also experiencing a musical revelation spontaneously improvised, infused with wisdom traditions, theoretical physics and the power of communal elevation.
At its core, MindTravel creates the space and permission to feel and connect.
It is an exploration of the notion that bringing the lessons of music into our daily lives can radically improve our clarity, our ability to reflect and relax, and that with music as our teacher â we can peel back layers of our Self yet unseen.

TESTIMONIALS
Let Others Inspire You
Transcendence is exactly what happens for some people. Sarah Puil, a senior vice president at an experiential branding agency in San Francisco, went to a MindTravel event for the first time six weeks after having a child with her husband.
The pandemic not only inspired Murray Hidaryâs âDistanced Together,â it gave him time to write it. The pianist and composer talks about his massive sonic installation at Mass MoCA and this weekendâs upcoming performances.
It's interesting to think that weâme and everyone listening to Hidary's meditationsâare participating in some sort of collective healing in a time that's at once intensely painful and has the power to be a stepping stone to a more inclusive future.
It felt like a moving meditation; an opportunity to slow down and fully engage with the senses. But unlike meditating solo, which forces you look within, this felt more like an invitation to gaze out at the collective.
Each participant puts on headphones and listens to a minimalist composition being created in real time by the tech entrepreneur and theoretical-physics nerd Murray Hidary. Youâll have to bring your own blanket or chair, but the music may move you to leave it behind and float through the trees.
