Music as Timelessness: The Absence of Duration

Tom Zelle

Tom Zelle serves as Music Director of the North Park University Orchestra and as professor of music in Chicago. He is also the Music Director of the Chicago Sauganash Community Church. Mr. Zelle credits his artistic influences to his studies with Sergiu Celibidache and Ramesh Balsekar. This led him to receive his musical training in Germany and the United States, specialising in non-dual and phenomenological applications to the classic art of music practice and orchestral/ensemble conducting. Privately, he coaches and teaches professional musicians in the art of practice, performance and general musicianship while intentionally applying his research and experiences in Consciousness Studies to his work.
