AURORA music album

20.00 

Blushing Aurora; celestial light that beams on the world. — Orphic Hymn to Adonis

Aurora is the dawn, the sacred wanderer who travels from the east to the west announcing the coming of the sun. On her, the great Homer lavishes his most beautiful epithets such as “rosy-fingered” and “saffron-cloaked”. She is the sister of the Sun and Moon, and the mother of the Morning Star. Today, you can see her in Aurora Borealis; the unique arches of light appearing on the earth’s magnetic field. This album is dedicated to her; the dawn, the messenger, the guide, the traveler, the crier of the light. Lina Palera is a world-renowned lyre player with live performances at numerous concert halls, museums, international conferences, et cetera, such as the Greek Museum of Byzantine Culture and the Frankfurt MusicMesse. She has an extensive discography as a guitar player and a vocalist. “Aurora” is her first music album dedicated solely to the ancient lyre and the emotions it can evoke. She loves teaching adults and children how to play the ancient lyre, and this is why she co-founded and serves as the Head of Music Programs at the Lyre Academy.
