You might have read about my unique experience in the dome of Hagia Sophia and the first photography exhibit of the work of that experience in Cleveland last May-June. This fall, a slightly expanded version of the same exhibit is coming to Rhode Island. The small preview images below do not do justice to the 16×20 inch framed photographs, printed on special metallic paper to replicate the reflectivity of gold that surrounds the Great Dome. Visit the exhibit, come to the opening reception, hear my experience, and see the Great Church from a vantage point you most likely have not seen.
Below are the specifics:
Touching The History: Photographs From The Dome Of Hagia Sophia
Dates: September 8 – October 22, 2010
Location: Providence College Hunt-Cavanaugh Art Gallery
Gallery hours: 9 AM – 4 PM Monday-Friday
Opening reception: September 16, 2010 5 – 7 PM, Gallery talk at 6:00 PM
I may be able to arrange off hour visits for those who cannot make it during the gallery hours, contact me for special arrangements.
Here are some of the photographs in digital format.

If it’s on this site, I can’t find where it says it, so what’s the music please? And is it available to buy please?
It sounds to my unknowing ear to be Greek Orthodox, i.e. liturgical music, perhaps a sung Mass?
Regards, John.
Hello John, you are correct it is liturgical music. The CD is called “La Gloire de Byzance” and the track used in the show is #11, “Bénis le Seigneur, ô mon âme (Psaume 122, 1-22)“. Below is the link to the CD at Amazon.com.
