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.

Celtic Music for Imbolc
Welcome to a Celtic Music (and more!) Festival featuring (among many other things) music from around the Celtic Lands, alongside music inspired by or expressing Celtic themes, in celebration of Imbolc.
Today you’ll hear a wide variety of Celtic and Celtic-influenced material, with orchestral works like Shaun Davey’s Brendan Voyage; a wide range of performances by traditional Celtic artists; and music inspired by the Celtic heritage. There are also some large-scale performances from artists like Celtic Woman, Celtic Thunder and even the Cincinnati Pops! And listen out for some of the Celtic/Goddess themed pieces from Nashville-based artist Laura Powers’ Legends of the Goddess trilogy, along with Rutland Boughton’s seldom-heard classic, first performed in Glastonbury between the wars, The Immortal Hour.
Then tune in at 12 noon or 4pm Pacific Time/SLT, 8pm or midnight in the UK, for episodes from our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we discuss things to do and places to visit across the Second Life Grid. And catch “Engines of Our Ingenuity” from the University of Houston every four hours from 4am Pacific.
