Deborah Judith was born into a musical family. Her mother was an accomplished pianist and teacher. Her sister is a practicing music therapist and professor on the subject, while her father continues to maintain an active membership in local choir and operatic groups. She began her piano training at age four, and rapidly became a virtuoso player by her late teens. In addition to piano, Deborah also dedicated herself to becoming an outstanding violinist and organist. She received several university degrees in music, and was poised to go on to a concert stage career when a great spiritual crisis transformed her entire outlook on music and life. She became a serious student of some of the deeper teachings related to the role of conscious music as both a healing and transforming agent in the life of the universe. Fortunately, in the intervening years, she has developed a sense of humor as well. While deepening her essential understanding, she has raised a family, returned to classical performance, composed and recorded her own unique style of music (sometimes referred to as Neo-Impressionistic Haiku [the long form]), and continues to teach and share these special healing gifts with humanity. |

This remarkable musical event has been released as a Full Spectrum Omnisonic CD of continuous music in 3 movements: The Storm: Awakening: The Ascension. Needless to say, this milestone in pianistic composition and performance has to be heard to be believed... |

Transcendental Pianists Deborah Judith and Lubomyr Melnyk
|
"Transcendental music at its most beautiful and sublime!" ~ "Amazing and brilliant!" ~ "Delicacy and power
perfectly combined. Pure bliss!" ~ "Vivifying and awakening!" ~ "Exquisitely immediate yet indescribable!"... These are only a few of the many real and heart-felt comments left by enraptured audience members who have attended performances by Lubomyr Melnyk and Deborah Judith. Over the past several years Ms. Judith and Mr. Melnyk have given unforgettable 2-piano concerts that have transported and uplifted listeners into refreshing, undiscovered transformational aural realms. They are musicians and individuals whose lives are dedicated to the creation and realization of authentic transformation through their music work. Their life paths took them on distinctly unique trajectories, but the essential parallels at the heart of their music eventually made possible their collaboration into new dimensions of expression for their instrument. Lubomyr Melnyk is considered to be among the great pianists of the new millennium. His brilliance in composition, performance and innovation has taken him into new and consciousness-expanding dimensions of piano music. Unveiling revelatory realms of sound, sensation, feeling and awareness, the voice of this singularly magnificent instrument is finally able to sing the secrets of its soul through what Mr. Melnyk has named Continuous Music. Continuous Music isn’t so much another stylistic form as it is a totally new “language” for the piano, through which player and audience are able to inter- connect with the music in subtle and profound ways. A stupendous physical and mental technique is required to be able to play this music at its most fully developed level; unprecedented also is the vast treasure house of possibilities it has opened up for the piano. The evocative beauty of his music has amazed audiences wherever he has performed. Deborah Judith was poised to go on to an early concert stage career when an irresistable spiritual crisis transformed her entire outlook on music and life. Through this process she became a serious student of the deeper teachings related to the role of conscious music as both a healing/transforming agent in the life of humanity. These new understandings inspired her to return to performing, composing and recording a totally new repertoire. Ms. Judith's original compositions are beautiful, spontaneous and completely improvised. They are invocational in nature, with a very strong focus on the awakening of impulses that lead to the integration and transformation of all unconscious tendencies. Stylistically, Judith's music has been called neo-impressionistic, but its aim and focus may be described more accurately as transcendental, yet this transcendence fully accommodates the human experience. When Deborah Judith and Lubomyr Melnyk agreed to do concerts of freshly created pieces, their conscious aim was to dedicate their performances to the healing of humanity and the planet. May this aim be a growing inspiration to all musicians and listeners whose hearts, minds and beings aspire to realization of such a profoundly beneficial potential.
