Out Under the Sky is a solo, acoustic concert program that has been featured on National Public Radio. Critically acclaimed for her pure singing voice and masterful finger-style guitar accompaniment, Suzanne McDermott presents her own arrangements of ancient and traditional carols. Throughout the performance, Suzanne talks about sources and historic context of each carol, symbolism of the lyrics and how popular culture and sacred doctrine were combined in the song form.
Carefully selected and ordered, each carol unfolds a particular part of the Christmas story, from biblical prophecy, through the Annunciation to the birth of the Christ Child. The carols are also presented chronologically and provide a glimpse at the history of Western music and religion.
No matter what faith you follow, this unique and beautiful musical program on the origin and development of the Christmas Carol is guaranteed to fascinate.
This program runs 45 minutes to 1 hour.
