Starry Night
Recital
Starry Night flows through a dreamscape of beautiful and unexpected sounds. Beginning with reflections on the night sky, the journey continues with an exploration of the subconscious inspired by Dr. Rosalind “The Queen of Dreams” Cartwright’s emotional sleep/dream theory. Then, a soundtrack to accompany moonlit rituals, music inspired by the United Nations treaty for celestial peacekeeping, and more. Starry Night features new music composed for SHHH!! by Monica Pearce, Jocelyn Morlock, Paolo Griffin, Mari Alice Conrad, Harry Stafylakis, and more.
