'what we heard in the sky'
 
Life feels so hectic here on the ground.
 
Yet there is plenty going on in the sky as well. It is the domain of birds, and of the angels. Through it we can see all the way to the moon, to the stars. We can see the amazing dance of the Northern Lights. And for centuries we dreamed of going up there….
 
All of these wonderful things in the sky are described to us by great composers, from Palestrina to Randall Z. Stroope. Their imaginations take them to the sky, and now you can hear what they heard there.
 
Join us in any of three venues:
June 15th in St Thomas Mt Merrion, June 22nd in Christ Church Cathedral, and June 30th in the Hugh Lane Gallery.
