Composer, Tom Lane, and the choir of Christ Church
Cathedral Dublin present 'A Feast for St Michael and
All Angels: An Experimental Evensong in Christ Church
Cathedral, Dublin' on SATURDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2010
at 5.00pm as part of the ABSOLUT Fringe Festival 2010
.


When a choir takes collective control of a musical service,
anything might happen. The nationally renowned choir of
Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, in collaboration with
composer Tom Lane, present this radical  re-interpretation
of the service of evensong in a way never attempted before.
Set in one of Dublin’s most iconic buildings, expect a
re-imagined ancient tradition in a thoroughly modern context,
Religion and theatre unified by ritualised processes and group
improvisation combined with established form. This exciting
performance will only happen once — don’t regret missing it.


"Art and spirituality come together in this experimental
performance  of a traditional ritual. Regardless of your religion,
or lack of  religion, you are welcome at this very special
performance".  RĂ³ise Goan, Director, ABSOLUT Fringe.


The service is free, no ticket required,
and all are most welcome.
