A forum member sent me info about an upcoming performance by ambient space music master Steve Roach, being held at at Grace Cathedral: Mystic Chords and Deep Immersions.

Roach plans to present an evening of pure, expansive soundscapes. His atmospheric works should be a perfect match for the reverberant acoustics and sacred space of the Cathedral.

Lynn Augstein (Cobalt Sun) is handling lighting and video art.

Sounds like it will be a great concert. Here are the details:
