Mechanics Hall is the premier event venue and concert hall in Central Massachusetts.
Ambient Church presents: Michael Stearns – Continuum Revisited
October 18 @ 8:00 pm
Pioneering composer and sound designer Michael Stearns will perform Continuum Revisited inside Mechanics Hall in downtown Worcester, MA.
The concert revisits Stearns’ formative Continuum Studio years (1978–1984), a fertile period that produced landmark albums including Ancient Leaves, Planetary Unfolding, and Lyra Sound Constellation. Using contemporary tools alongside his iconic 12-foot acoustic invention, The Beam, Stearns will reimagine these immersive works for a new era, enveloping listeners in vast harmonic fields that merge cosmic immensity with intimate detail.
The evening will be paired with site-specific architectural projections, transforming the church’s Romanesque Revival interior into a living canvas of light and sound.
Stearns is celebrated for his pioneering solo albums, his collaborations with artists such as Steve Roach and Kevin Braheny, and his acclaimed film scores for Ron Fricke’s Chronos, Baraka, and Samsara.
Ambient Church hosts immersive deep listening events with visionary live performances held in historic spaces around the world.
