Stop the Clock
Immersive Piano Experience by Becky Reesor
The Event Your Community Will Thank You For
Give your audience a rare space to exhale.
You want to host something that actually matters. You need an experience that helps people slow down and feel connected, but you also need it to be simple to manage. You don’t need another “show” musician; you need a partner who understands how to hold a room.
Stop the Clock: a Sanctuary-in-a-Box.
This is an immersive piano performance by Becky Reesor. It combines live, soulful music with peaceful nature projections to create a digital sanctuary in your venue. It solves your three biggest hurdles:
It commands the room: People arrive distracted. This show is designed to help them put their phones away, breathe and focus from the very first note.
It makes you look brilliant: You don’t have to wonder if people will enjoy it. It is the kind of night where guests walk up to you afterward and say, “Thank you for planning this.”
It protects your time: Becky provides the music, the visuals, and the story. It requires zero hand-holding from your team, giving you a high-impact event without the usual hosting stress.

Bio
Soulful, expansive pianist.
Becky Reesor ignites the senses—connects you to your soul, body and psyche. Canadian classical-crossover pianist, composer, and immersive artist, she is known for blending her folk-inflected classical core with jazz and electronic influences to create vivid, sensory-rich experiences that feed the soul, and leave audiences nourished.
Listeners describe her performances as “an escape from the noise of the outside world,” as music that “brings peace amidst the chaos.”
Her latest album, tour and piano book, Stop the Clock (2023), captures fleeting moments in and alongside the natural world, both dark and light. Stage highlights across Ontario and Quebec include the Hudson Music Festival, Conrad Grebel University College and Montreal's Christ Church Cathedral.
Her innovative work includes a CBC Now or Never-featured commission for burning piano, musical direction at the historical Iona Abbey in Scotland, and the founding of Becky Reesor Music: international online piano studio of students, learning to speak music as a language.
From the time she can remember, art has always been Becky’s language. She hid herself away to sew, fill sketchbooks, write songs and choir arrangements, and dance to feel energy flow through her. Those creative impulses faded as she dedicated herself to the piano until one day in 2020, while preparing a move, she came across an old painting: her first self-portrait from high school. In it, she had painted herself as pianist, singer, dancer, and audience all at once.
“It wasn’t until years later, when I found the painting,” she says, “that I realized—yes, I’m a pianist… and I’m still that person.”
Now, through every performance, Reesor invites listeners into a multi-art space where they can meet music — and in doing so, meet themselves. Through this process, listeners continue their own journey of knowing, healing, and grounding in self, contributing to the healing of the world we all share.
"It's just really beautiful. The music, the projections, the words… the whole thing." - Esther-Ruth Teel/Oasis Musicale
Her upcoming collaboration with Scottish writer Susan Lindsay and the Greater Moncton Scottish Association (2026) explores the nature of cultural perspectives across continents through piano, prose, and film.
