Solar Music

The time is around the time of the Sum­mer Sol­stice, where at sun­rise, the sun shines deep into the mon­u­ment of Stonehenge.

The Sum­mer Sol­stice is one of the spe­cial days in the Celtic cal­en­dar. At Stone­henge, the sun ris­es over the Heel Stone. In the North­ern Hemi­sphere, the days are long and the nights are short. Today we’re fea­tur­ing music with a solar con­nec­tion, cross­ing many genres.

In addi­tion, tune in at 12 noon or 4pm SLT/Pacific Time for the lat­est episode of our orig­i­nal series, “Where Have You Been”. And you can catch an edi­tion of “The Engines of Our Inge­nu­ity” from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Hous­ton every four hours from 4am Pacific.
