Sonic Butterfly is an acoustic, chromatic, long-string harp designed by Andrea Brook. The strings are at minimum 60ft and span out over the audience, transforming theaters, buildings, and natural environments into a stunning immersive musical instrument. “It’s like being inside YoYo Ma’s cello.” The 2 resonating chambers have butterfly-shaped projection screen or LED wings creating a visual, musical experience.
Andrea Brook and Sonic Butterfly have performed around the world from the Grand Theater in Shanghai to Richard Branson’s Necker Island, a cathedral in Mexico to a castle in Italy. Andrea has created shows for a long list of corporate clients and performed at world-renowned festivals, Performing Arts Centers, and more. Sonic Butterfly is an innovative and extraordinary option for theaters, festivals, corporate events, private parties, weddings and dance clubs. Or visit her venue, Chrysalis, in Ojai California.
2026 has been quite a year!
It began with the sweetness of “Love Potion,” and the heartbursting collaboration, “A New Spring,” with my husband, Dastan Khalili, and the poetry of Hafez. Next was the wild ride of the Virada Cultural Festival in Sao Paulo Brazil where Sonic Butterfly went viral, the life-changing, sold out 6 show run of “MOTH” with Dev Dance Theater, and the absolutely stunning Lotusland Celebrates “Botanical Splendor” Gala. All I can say is WOW!
