Head into the Longest Day of the Year with an Echoes Summer Solstice.
Let the sun shine in as Echoes orchestrate a soundscape for the Summer Solstice. We’ll hear music from Bill Nelson, George Winston, Mimi Page and Ludovico Einaudi. John Diliberto soaks up the rays of an Echoes Summer Solstice Soundscape from PRX.
We’ve once again hit that point of the year with the longest day of sunshine and the official start to the summer season. It’s a time of hot days, celestial configurations and mythical and mystical occurrences. I’ve got a lot of that for you in a soundscape that will include Ian Boddy and Erik Wøllo with a song called “Apogee” which is where we are on the Solstice with the earth at its furthest distance from the Sun. It’s a show painted in summer colors as we travel through the longest day and shortest night of the year. The summer heat is finally bearing down on me today, but I’ll be bringing you the chill. It’s always a time for pause then the seasons are at the extremes, whether it’s the equilibrium between day and night on the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes or the long night of the Winter Solstice or the long day of the Summer Solstice. We’ve got “Endless Summers,” “Sun Kings,” and “Summer Rain”. Get your umbrella out and your sunscreen on for Echoes Summer Solstice.
