Celestial Celebrations

Sounds of Stow will present the area premiere of To Shiver the Sky by popular composer Christopher Tin. To Shiver the Sky is an oratorio about the history of flight and humankind’s quest to conquer the heavens. Told through the words of 11 of our greatest astronomers, inventors, visionaries and pilots, it charts our relentless need to explore the universe, defy our earthly bonds, reach for the face of God and ultimately claim our place among the stars. It’s sung in a panoply of languages: English, Latin, Italian, German, French, Polish, Russian, and Sanskrit.
