Ergodos presents vocal ensemble Tonnta in a very special late evening performance in the rich, atmospheric setting of the Chapel Royal at Dublin Castle.
This secular vespers is a meditation on memory, loss, and what we leave behind. Brand new specially commissioned works by composers Caterina Schembri and Síobhra Quinlan are juxtaposed with plaintive Renaissance polyphony, lushly textured soundscapes, and an incantation by Alvin Lucier, luminary of American experimental music who passed away last year.
