Swirling rhythms dancing to a singing harp,
flowing with the sound of dripping water.
Children laughing. Voices chanting. Nature com
ing together into a form of music nobody can
classify.
These words still fall short of fully describing
the magic Andreas Vollenweider and Friends
create — music that touches parts that are rarely
touched within people, filling empty spaces.
Vollenweider’s music is his communication,
and what he communicates is life, says Terrence
Yallop, coordinator of Real to Reel distributors.
“You can only convey to people that this
music is an incredible amount of life and
energy,” Yallop says. “There are quite a few peo
ple who come away with this energy, and
everytime they hear music for the next 20 years,
that energy comes back.”
To celebrate the release of their third album
“White Winds,” Vollenweider (pronounced
Fole-en-veye-der) and Friends will perform for
the first time in Eugene on Saturday at 7 p.m. in
the Silva Concert Hall of the Hult Center.

Their first two albums, “Behind the
Gardens....’’ and “Caverna Magica,’’ created
the group's international following. Their music
has been placed at the top of European and
American pop, jazz and classical charts, and their
music also is known as the theme song on Na
tional Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.”
Vollenweider’s name is not as well known as
his music. Most people absorb the colorful vibra
tions of the sounds in metaphysical bookstores
and become addicted to the music's “beauty,"
Yallop says.
Blends of the Far East, Caribbean and “new
age” electronic acoustics could be a vital descrip
tion, but Vollenweider’s music "breaks all bar
riers,” Yallop adds.
