Contact: admin@theblindcafe.com \nSocial Impact Discussion: Led by legally blind ambassadors James Jackson and Richie Flores\, sharing personal stories and engaging in Q&A. \nLive Music in the Dark: Intimate performances by Rosh & the Blind Cafe Orchestra\, Richie Flores Project\, and special guest James Carson. \nPianist James Carson has developed a new form of music and over the last twelve years has produced and directed Cabin Music\, a feature film\, to share it with the world. A childhood prodigy born with perfect pitch\, Carson composed complete songs at age four and had his music performed by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at age sixteen\, leading him to be called “one of the most gifted rising stars” by the Edmonton Journal. When he attended the New England Conservatory\, however\, his studies with Joe Maneri\, Cecil Taylor\, and the poet Robert Creeley led him to a dramatic life change: he walked away from music and spent two years backpacking and farming overland from Spain to Japan. After his return to Northern Alberta\, Canada\, he then spent five years designing\, building\, and practicing in a remote strawbale cabin. The musical result was multilayered\, detailed\, meditative\, and harmonious. “I wanted to play the whole piano at once\,” says Carson\, “in the same way that a single breeze can cause the entire forest to dance and tremble in unison.” (performing on Sept 20-21 only) \nOur Mission\nThe Blind Cafe inspires positive social change by fostering connection and compassion through darkness-based experiences\, encouraging participants to engage beyond visual conditioning and social norms. \nOur Story\nFounded in 2010 by Rosh\, inspired by a Reykjavik “cafe in the dark\,” The Blind Cafe Experience has evolved into an internationally touring pop-up event. Partnering with blind ambassadors James Jackson and Richie Flores since 2011\, it combines music\, dining\, and dialogue for transformative social impact. \nTestimonials\n“I cried during ‘Transcend’… knowing I was invisible made it easier to feel. Our table held hands and swayed together!” —Katie Maginnis\, Seattle\n“An incredible\, enlightening experience… professional and impactful.” —Brian Johnson\, The Marquee Music Magazine \n#Music #DateNightIdeas #BlindTasting #DiningInTheDark #BoulderEvents #ColoradoEvents
