Songs in the Skyspace: Solar Eclipse 2024

The upcoming Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024, promises an extraordinary celestial event, and I'm beyond excited to intertwine this cosmic spectacle with the resonant sounds of the handpan in a series of performances at the University of Texas in Austin. This isn't just any performance; it's a journey set within the ethereal confines of the James Turrell Skyspace, offering an immersive experience where music and celestial wonder converge. 

Performance Times

To fully embrace the celestial event, there will be performances aligned with the natural rhythms of the day — at sunset on April 7, then at sunrise, during the eclipse, and at sunset again on April 8. Each performance is timed to coincide with these significant moments, offering a unique atmosphere and energy:

April 7—Perform at Sunset 7:25-8:31pm 
April 8—Perform at Sunrise (6:14-7:11am), Eclipse (1:32-1:41pm), and Sunset (7:24-8:30pm).
