9\/21\/2026 5:45 PM – 6:45 PM – International Day of Peace \u00a0Benefit Concer<\/i>t:\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/h4>
A Prayer for Peace<\/i>\u00a0is a reflection on what it means to seek peace in a time and place torn apart by violence, partisanship, and isolation. It is an acknowledgment that peace is not a simple or linear goal, but rather one that carries with it frustration, uncertainty, and grief.
In writing this work, I attempt to grapple with these and other challenging emotions which have compounded over the last several years – but also to imagine a more hopeful future.<\/div>

Vilasi project bio:\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>
The Vilasi Project is the duo of Bella Clinton and\u00a0Matt\u00a0Wisotsky, who first met in Vienna, Austria and years later reconnected in Madison, quickly discovering a shared drive to keep creating and exploring music together.\u00a0The name \u201cVilasi,\u201d meaning \u201cluxurious\u201d in Nepali, pays tribute to Bella\u2019s family\u2019s work in Nepal and reflects a commitment to richness in sound, spirit, and generosity. It also honors her mother\u2019s ensemble, The Vilasi Quartet, continuing a legacy of creating music.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Blending\u00a0Matt\u2019s versatility on woodwinds with Bella\u2019s harp, the duo thrives on unexpected instrumental pairings. Rooted in classical training, their performances expand into improvisation, intuitive listening, and real-time collaboration, making each set a unique musical conversation.<\/div>
In this special benefit concert for the UN International Day of Peace, The Vilasi Project presents music inspired by this year’s theme, ‘Invest in Peace,’ including the premiere of a new work by Vilasi’s composer, Matt.<\/span><\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
The concert will be from 5:45-6:45 on 9\/21\/26. Admission is free, with a $10 or more suggested donation for the cause of musician’s choice.<\/span><\/div><\/div>
