After the Grand Opening of The Art Lounge in May 2022, The Listening Sessions began its inaugural 2022/2023 season with 9 monthly sold-out shows featuring a variety of guest musicians. Artists from across the US, Mexico and even Portugal shared The Art Lounge Stage with Ms. Mulhern, resulting in a series of unique, diverse collaborations in front of a live silent audience. The result has been and WILL continue to be both magical and surreal, a true sharing of musical moments in a sacred space.

Music-lovers who seek the opportunity to appreciate live music in a quiet, intimate atmosphere are invited to join us for this unique concert-going experience. ’The Listening Sessions is such an important addition to our South Texas creative community.  Thanks to The Art Lounge, we finally have a space dedicated for music and art enthusiasts to gather and really interact with the music. Each audience member experiences these sonic journeys in a quiet listening room surrounded by an environment of contemporary art, recreating the feel of a timeless house-concert performed for friends in a cozy living room.”

‘The Listening Sessions on SPI’ continues for its 3rd season beginning October 2024 with a run of 10 performances through May 2025 at The Art Lounge! All events in the concert series will include music curated and performed by Jenuine Cello, featuring a variety (and we mean VARIETY!) of guest musicians whose performances are best enjoyed in this amazing silent space. Our intent is to bring together quality musicians, performers and music lovers who seek a distraction-free concert experience.
