Rhian Returns
- Texture
- Many called it the best live performance of 2009. Rhian Sheehan’s Standing in Silence: live was an epic night at Downstage. It brought to life an acclaimed album, taking the music to another level of intensity, even leaving some in tears as the bows were made and the lights came back up. Yes, it was that freakin’ emotional.So can we have some more Mr Sheehan? Well yes. Yes we can.Standing in Silence: live returns for 2010, this time stretching its legs in the luxurious surrounds of Wellington’s Opera House on the 19th of June.Once again we will be gifted with 14 talented contemporary, classical and electronic musicians, performing live alongside a filmic backdrop of moving images, shot all over the world and specifically created for the Standing in Silence show.Joining Rhian on-stage will be Jeff Boyle from Jakob, Tom Pierard (Strike), Raashi Malik (Rhombus), Jeramiah Ross (Module), Steve Bremner (NZSO, Strike), Jess Chambers, Andy Hummel, Brett Skinner, Al Frazer (all Woodshed Sessions), plus a 5 piece string section. I missed this the first time around... I’m not going to make the same mistake twice. You would be wise to do the same.Get your tickets here. -Darren
