Late Night with SHHH!! Ensemble and Hilding Neilson: Starry Night

Starry Night is the SHHH!!! Ensemble’s dreamscape of enchanting and unexpected sounds inspired by the night sky. Interspersed throughout the performance, astrophysicist Hilding Neilson contributes thoughts on the wonders of universe, star formation, and creation of the solar system.  You’ll hear moonlit rituals, works influenced by sleep/dream theory and music inspired by the United Nations treaty for celestial peacekeeping. With music written especially for the ensemble by Monica Pearce, Jocelyn Morlock, Paolo Griffin, and Mari Alice Conrad.
