Singer-Songwriter-Author Tara O’Grady – DREAM SONG

Imagine if you could create a soundtrack to your dreams. Want to discover what your dreams are singing to you? Composer and pianist Daniel Kelly joins singer-songwriter Tara O’Grady as a dynamic duo who explore dreams in this interactive improvisational music experience.

Dreams communicate in a symbolic visual language, like movies in our minds. Songwriters have been translating these scenes from their psyches for ages – Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and Taylor Swift are just a few musicians who have turned their night visions into gold records. When we learn how to engage with our dreamscape and the wisdom dreams have to offer, we become more aware of our inner world and how we relate to the outer world.

Audiences will be guided to explore their dreams, follow their curiosity, and participate in the creative process of transforming dreams into songs performed by Tara & Daniel!
