LOCATION:

"The Rise" at St. Patrick’s Island (accessible from East Village)

East Village is linked to St. Patrick’s Island – a revitalized 31-acre backyard for the neighbourhood – by the George C. King Bridge. Restored in a way that gives Calgarians a place to get in touch with nature amongst the concrete of the city, you could call this island a wild oasis. "The Rise" is a grassy knoll, nine metres high, that provides a perfect setting for Rise: Run, Yoga, Meditate.

Christopher Bazinet – Handpan Artist

 

Christopher is a musician whose journey embodies the transformative power of following one’s heart. As a seasoned drummer, Christopher spent years mastering rhythm and pulse before discovering the deeply resonant world of the handpan. Drawn to its ethereal tones and meditative qualities, he made a profound shift in his musical path—one driven not by convention, but by a calling to create connection through sound.

 

Now, as a handpan artist, Christopher’s music is an invitation into stillness, movement, and emotion all at once. His compositions weave intricate rhythms with celestial harmonies, crafting sonic landscapes that inspire introspection and unity. Each note carries an intention: to uplift, to heal, and to remind us of the profound way music transcends words.His artistry is more than performance—it is a bridge between the seen and unseen, a space where listeners can find solace, inspiration, and a deeper connection to themselves and each other.With every resonant touch of the handpan, Christopher continues his mission: to bring people together through the universal language of music.
