"Fiona Joy Hawkins’ BLUE DREAM began as the most ambitious project of
my entire career and resulted in one of the most remarkable
collaborations this genre has ever known. Blue Dream is unique
and I’m as proud of it (and Fiona) as anything I’ve ever worked on in
my 35 year career of Grammy Awards and gold and platinum records."
Will Ackerman

Recorded as a 70 minute single peice of music on a Steinway B, Blue Dream goes from quiet contemplative piano to full orchestral, to world sounds, rhythms, jazz influcneces and back again to the perfect "Bach' moment - all in a breath. (see the youtube clip of the recording of Blue Dream on this page)
Blue Dream was produced by Grammy Winner Will Ackerman (Founder of Windham Hill), features a guest performance by Luka Bloom and was recorded on the Steinway at Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont.

This Syrian village, Saidnaya, where houses are built around a rock with a very old convent at the top, is considered a place for religious pilgrimage.
A steep climb is the only way up to the convent, which is said to date back to the Emperor Justinian.
Legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared to Justinian and asked him to found the convent.
After entering through a maze of passages, you finally reach the Chapel of the Virgin. The walls are covered with beautiful icons including one said to have been painted by St. Luke.
This chapel was very famous to Christians and at one point was the second Christian place of pilgrimage after Jerusalem, the crusaders called it "Notre Dame de Sardeneye".
Greetings and love from Syria

It is good to have such beautiful friends. A gift. A poem I wrote.
Shadows in the dancing lamplight flicker Dawns silken sublime sister Come inside my robe Golden empires holy slaughter Bleeding hand of the prophets daughter Leave me to the soft arms of the night Saints have found a better way So the tattoed angels say Oh come inside my long dark robe Farewell my sun crowned hoping bride And down he fell upon her dusky thigh Closed within the soft arms of the night
