Live Performances

The Stargazing team hopes these artistic pieces will inspire others to perform them, sharing the re/imagining of Lizzie's life with more people. As performances occur, they will be mapped, creating their own network of stars. Join us! 

Please contact Dr. Raymond Wise to request Stargazing song cycle music. We look forward to adding you to our Stargazing performance map.

Stargazing World Premier  Through Dr. Raymond Wise's professional activities and networks, people around the country began learning about the Stargazing pieces. It was in this way that Stargazing's World Premiere was performed by Dr. Crystal Sellers-Battle on Feb. 9, 2023 at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, prior to a local Bloomington, Indiana performance. Please enjoy Dr. Seller-Battle's recorded performance. 

Live at Wylie House Museum, Indiana University  On the evening of Apr. 25th, 2023, vocalists Kathiana Dargenson and Shenika John Jordan performed the Stargazing song cycle as the culminating portion of a public presentation about the project, its process, and its artistic products. Learn more about the program and listen to their live performances on the Stargazing community presentation page.
