Saturday 25 September 2010 - Experimental Evensong (17.00)
Evensong on Saturday 25 September, the feast of St Michael
and All Angels, will take an experimental form at Christ Church
at 5.00pm, when bass lay vicar and composer, Tom Lane in
collaboration with the cathedral choir, will explore an 'Experimental
Evensong'. Entitled 'A Feast for St Michael and all Angels' and run
in association with Absolut Fringe, the composer writes:
'When a choir takes collective control of a musical service, anything
might happen' in this 'radical re-interpretation of the service of
Evensong' ... 'expect a reimagined ancient tradition in a thoroughly
modern context. Religion and theatre unified by ritualised processes
and group improvisation combined with established form.'
Róise Goan, Director of ABSOLUT Fringe writes '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". Further information online at:
