credo & riceboy sleeps concert stream and photos

last week, two sigur rós side projects were performed for the first time live at the church of st paul the apostle in new york city: the contemporary classical piece ‘credo’ by kjartan and six songs from the jónsi & alex record ‘riceboy sleeps’. the works were performed by the latvian national choir and the wordless music orchestra. jónsi & alex joined the groups onstage for the ‘riceboy sleeps’ concert, jónsi occasionally lending a little bit of his voice to the performance.
the performance was broadcast on wqxr’s contemporary classical internet radio station q2. please find a direct link below to the on-demand audio stream.
