as mentioned a few months back – “credo” by kjartan sveinsson was performed in cork, ireland, on the 29th of july as part of “the reich effect” season. kjartan’s piece performed by the rté orchestra and voice effect choir, closed the friday night bill of jonny greenwood’s doghouse, 2 pieces by nico muhly and one by reich’s eight lines, to a tear-stained standing ovation. (thanks to mary hickson for a great event)

the irish times has an overview of the 5 day “the reich effect” season as well as an interview with kjartan from before the event.
