‘Standing In Silence’ Live For The First Time!

Rhian Sheehan Presents ‘Standing In Silence’ Live For The First Time!

After the release of the beautiful, thought-provoking and highly acclaimed album, Rhian Sheehan is proud to present the first incarnation of ‘Standing In Silence’ live in Wellington.

This one-off concert is part of Downstage Theatre's Soundstage season, celebrating Wellington bands through showcase performances on Sunday evenings.

Rhian Sheehan’s live band includes key collaborator Jeff Boyle from Jakob along with 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 and visuals by Nektar.

Following on from the silent exhibition album launch in Auckland, Nektar will project full length moving image to accompany the performance, and once again the audience will be able to participate in a unique way.

100 of the specially made and very limited Standing In Silence music boxes will be available to purchase for $10 in the foyer before the show. The music boxes play the opening tune, and key melody of Part 3 of Standing In Silence. Those with music boxes will be encouraged to play along during these sequences, extending the experience and moving the performance throughout the theatre in a dynamic way.

Tickets are $35 (+bf) and available through http://www.downstage.co.nz. Be sure to book soon as over half the tickets have sold already.

Standing In Silence the album was released on February 24 2009 and is available through stores and online at http://www.loop.co.nz.
