    */A Universe of Dreams/ is an extraordinary multi-media concert that
    evokes all the wonder and mystery of the universe. Dazzling images
    from the Hubble Space Telescope, readings of authors such as Mary
    Oliver and Isaac Asimov, and "....music that speaks to the heart in
    ways that transcend mere language."*

Narrated by Neal Conan, host of NPR's /Talk of the Nation,/ with 
projected images from the Hubble Space Telescope. This performance of 
music, poetry and stories marries music to words in a way that is both 
compelling and beautiful.

The evocative music of the Celtic/Early Music crossover group Ensemble 
Galilei presents the perfect backdrop for works by some of the finest 
poets in America. Audiences have been swept away by this extraordinary 
combination of the spoken word and what has been described by critics as 
"....music that speaks to the heart in ways that transcend mere 
language." /A Universe of Dreams/ includes text from Stanley Kunitz, Jim 
Harrison, Michael Glazer and William Shakespeare.

Ensemble Galilei performs Irish, Scottish, early and original music on a 
variety of ancient and modern instruments, including the Celtic harp, 
Scottish small pipes, gamba, fiddle, recorders, whistles and percussion. 
Ensemble Galilei's musicians include Liz Knowles, the fiddler from 
/Riverdance,/ and Sue Richards, the US National Scottish Harp Champion.
