The story of a hypothetical lost land in the Pacific Ocean called Lemuria (or MU); populated by beings who had super powers; psychically evolved and overzealous protectors of nature and their land - which sadly was engulfed by giant tsunami waves that came down sending their home into oblivion, sinking so low into the depths of the Pacific, there are no traces to be spoken of.
Musicians: Tanya Tomkins, cello solo; Leighton Fong, cello solo; Loren Mach, percussion; Matilda Hofman, conductor; Clarice Assad, vocal percussion; and members of our cello choir including Hanna Hurley, Deborah Shuster, Eamon Riley.
