A Pianist with a Healing Touch
Toronto, ON, Sept 27 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Personal loss, yearning, passionate love, heartache, prescient dreams and healing journeys are central to the powerful musical narratives in pianist/composer Arash Behzadi’s newest album, Elsewhere, which will be released October 27th 12 a.m. EST. Click here to preview Arash Behzadi’s new album Elsewhere.* Arash Behzadi’s solo piano compositions are musical narratives that reflect the trials and triumphs of life through deeply personal stories and transformational experiences which he invites his audience to share. Elsewhere is reflective of the gamut of human experience and emotion. It’s about the drama of life. “I feel that my music is universal and timeless,” Behzadi says. “It never ages. And because of that people feel an instant connection. It speaks to people of all ages. It opens up emotions and it heals.” In a series of recent visits to Bali, Behzadi found an unexpected inner peace and tranquillity in the timeless island’s ancient sacred temples and its gentle people. His own personal transformation has inspired him to share his passion for the healing powers of music which we see reflected in pieces on the album such as “Heartfelt,” an intensely personal composition, peaceful yet powerful, exposing a touching vulnerability yet confident in its execution. Other pieces were designed to bring about the healing of relationships and reunite people who had grown apart. Because the piano has the capacity to mirror human experience in all its complexities, from moments of profound sadness and loss to exhilaration and new beginnings, Behzadi envisions his compositions serving at many levels - from movie scores to beneficial and creative adjuncts to the work of physicians and therapists and live yoga meditation. Behzadi is an exciting new Persian-Canadian talent, a New Age pianist/composer with a global audience. He has performed worldwide including the renowned Bali Spirit Festival, in Geneva, New York, Dubai and at the 2015 Pan Am Games as well as the Tirgan Festival in Toronto. Elsewhere is his second album following the successful release of With Closed Eyes along with several music videos filmed in Bali, Geneva, Florida, Northern Ontario and Toronto, all of which can be viewed on his website. arashbehzadi.com Facebook / Instagram / Spotify *We ask for the link not to be shared with the general public until the release date.

The event kicked-off at 6.30am with the playing of "Negaraku", stirring the participants in their custom race t-shirts alongside scores of friends and family to rise and join in the singing of Malaysia's national anthem. Excited and motivated by the highly charged atmosphere, participants then took their places at the starting point, where they were ceremoniously flagged-off amidst cheers of encouragement from the supporters, right up to when they proudly crossed the finish line. Joining in the fun run with her children was Datin Dr. Halina Mohd Yunos, wife of Malaysia’s first astronaut, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor. The Kids Grow & Glow Run, organised by Cold Storage Malaysia in conjunction with Malaysia Day, is the country's first-ever kids run to promote healthier eating and living within the community. Featuring the different stages of growth, the 1km race trail brought participants on a learning experience of life's evolution from birth to healthy adulthood. Throughout the race, participants were faced with several “growth obstacles”, which required them, amongst others, to balance themselves across a beam and climb over an inflatable pyramid. The children also learned to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy food choices, and ultimately make the decision to take the correct food path to get to the finish line and claim their medal! Speaking about the event, Mr. Pierre-Olivier Deplanck, CEO of GCH Retail (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. said, "On top of being the first event of its kind to be organised by Cold Storage Malaysia, the Kids Grow & Glow Run is also the first kids run in Malaysia that features the different stages of growth. As The Fresh Food People, Cold Storage Malaysia has always aimed to inspire our customers to make healthy food choices by availing the finest selection of organic, fresh and high quality groceries in all our stores. Today's event is held specifically on Malaysia Day to bring this commitment even further. This is where we move ahead with our vision, to celebrate and embrace the nation's diversity whilst nurturing the next generation to choose to live healthy lifestyles. A healthy person equates a healthy mind, and we believe that it's never too early to instil the habit of eating and living healthily amongst children." After the race, each participant was rewarded with a medal and given a goody bag to be filled up with numerous prizes and products from the various sponsor booths. Amongst the event’s main sponsors were Bestari, Dutch Lady, Mondelez and Haagen Dazs. The inaugural Kids Grow & Glow Run also saw 40 children from MyKasih Foundation joining the race towards a healthier life. Furthermore, a total of RM20,000 was channelled to MyKasih Foundation, as part of Cold Storage Malaysia's CSR efforts. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=30161 - AXA Hearts In Action Run contributes RM150,000 to 4 NGOs .

The seepweed growing along its shoreline has taken on a crimson red hue while flocks of birds hover above the water, chirping between the reeds. This landscape in Panjin City of Liaoning Province is one of the earliest exemplary destinations in China for wetland tourism and boasts a distinctive beauty that can be found nowhere else across the world. The red color of the marshland is very rare as the seepweed common to coastal areas is green. A recreational wooden path, possibly the most fabulous one of its kind in China, has been built for tourists to mingle with waterfowls, enjoy the fantastic wetland views and experience rich and profound local culture. In this land of fish and rice, an exclusive culinary culture has been developed over the years. A spectacular winter fishing event is held every year in nearby Wolong Lake. For local residents, the event is more of a pray to the nature and an expression of their attachment to the river water. The wetland provides a superior environment for rice to grow. With mitten crabs dwelling in the paddy fields, the single-season rice there has a growing period of 186 days. This rice has actually been designated as the official rice of the 2008 Beijing Olympics Games. Cattail bamboo shoots or Pusun in Chinese is a plant native to the lower reaches of the Liaohe River. Pusun is very sensitive to its growth environment, can only grow wild and has a very low yield. The nutrient-rich food is being like by a lot more people. Red Beach sees the perfect blend of natural scenery and industrial development. Panjin is a famous oil city. In the vicinity of the scenic spot, there are rows of derricks and extraction equipment. Thanks to strict clean production practice, no single oil stain can be found on the production platforms. It is a fantastic getaway where vacationers can do more than sightseeing. They can experience ecological agriculture, going to paddy fields to see cute crop pictures and even having their own customized croplands. Specializing in the use of bio-energy, the resort offers a splendid environment-friendly rural scenery.
