Hello Dear People!

I hope you all are doing really well! I've been working hard and traveling a lot. Now I'm taking some time off to spend with loved ones. This seems to be harder and harder to do, with all of our busyness, so I'm very happy to have the opportunity now. I hope you have some time as well with those you love.

Thank you for the amazing reception you've all given to Mantra Brothers 'Invoke' - the new album with my brother, Jeremy. It's been so good to feel the support and love for the work we've done. Your support makes the ship sail. You can hear and buy Invoke at mantrabrothers.com

I have lot of good news to report and share with you! I'm very excited that Finding Gabriel by Brad Mehldau has been nominated for a Grammy Award. I play cello on the album, along with Lois Martin on viola and Sara Caswell on violin. It's a very beautiful piece of music with Brad's incredible compositions, string and vocal writing, and piano performances. I highly recommend giving his music a deep listen- its available everywhere.

I'm also excited to announce that a new album for cello and piano, along with tabla and bass is nearing completion. I partnered with my amazing pianist and friend, Wells Hanley, and brought Arjun Bruggeman and Mark Egan along, both incredible musicians. We're preparing a release for 'Love Rules' in early 2020, so stay tuned....

Also, I'm playing some live shows this holiday season, mostly on the road. I'll be playing with Krishna Das at Maui Arts and Cultural Center on December 2nd and at Menla Retreat in Upstate NY Dec 27-31. Who knows? Maybe we'll see each other there.

With Love and Gratitude,

Noah

Hello Dear People!

Greetings from Almaty, Kazakhstan. I'm here playing a special concert with Ani Choying Drolma, the amazing Tibetan nun and singer of sacred music. The seasons are changing and Fall is in the air in this very diverse place, filled with people from all over the region. We're just east of China and just North of Kyrgyzstan. I will also be playing concerts with Krishna Das and Ani Choying, along with Lama Tenzin Sangpo in New York and Boston early next month- details here.

There's a lot of good news to report and share with you. In August, my brother and I released our debut Mantra Brothers album to a beautiful reception. It’s gotten some airplay and a wonderful review. The Sloppy Bhakti says it's “an album that is as fervently uplifting, energizing and bold, as it is haunting, dark, and immersive."

The album is now available at MantraBrothers.com and on iTunes and Spotify.If you can, please support us and the living arts in general by buying the CD or digital download! It goes a lonnnnng way and helps music to keep flowing in the world....

Also, string arrangements I wrote for the great singer songwriter Nadia Ackerman will be performed on 9/23 on NYC's lower east side. Ill be playing cello and would love to see you there.

Take care and I hope to see you very soon. Thank you for taking the time to read and stay involved.

With Love,

Noah

Dear Friends!

I’m so happy to announce the release of Mantra Brothers’ debut album Invoke. Mantra Brothers is the band my brother Jeremy and I created as a vessel for our love of mantras and music. We are beyond overjoyed to share it with you all. It's truly a labor of Love and we hope you will feel that Love in the sound.

The album is available for sale on our new website www.mantrabrothers.com which we hope you'll visit. There, you can read about our stories and inspirations, and buy the CD or digital version. Mantra Brothers Invoke is also on iTunes and you can stream it on Spotify.

Jeremy and I worked hard on the album for over two years, writing and collaborating with each other as well as with some amazing New York musicians- like his daughter, Elona Hoffeld, as well as Monica Behan and Niki Morisette on vocals, Linda May Oh (Fabian Almazan, Pat Metheny, et al) on bass, and other great string playing buddies creating a big orchestral layer. The resulting sound is rich and textured, while deeply devotional.

If you're a facebook person, our Mantra Brothers Page is a very active one, which you can Like and follow along. Its a great way to keep in touch.

As always, I deeply appreciate your love and support. Our goal is to spread love and healing through sound, and you are helping to make that happen. Thank you for taking the time with us!

In love and gratitude,

Noah
