Somnia in Musica

Somnia, or “dream shapes” in Roman mythology, were thought to be the thousand sons of Somnus, the god of sleep. Where do we go when we dream? What happens when the light inside our mind clicks off until our next daily cycle? Questions like these ignite the imaginations of artists, and this program of solo guitar will give form to some of these dream-shapes from the minds of Britten, Dowland, Tedesco, and include the world premier of a new suite by guitarist Tom Torrisi.
