5 Artistic Meditations for Holy Week

Available on YouTube or Facebook from Monday 29 March. We are pleased to announce the release of 5 short video broadcasts for the final days of Lent. Each day will feature a short meditation from a different member of New Irish Arts, along with 2 pieces of beautiful music. 

Each broadcast will last around 15 minutes but the styles will be slightly different, reflecting the diversity of personality and expression within the participants of New Irish Arts. 

Contributors and topics:

Monday: Sharon Jones - Beauty and Healing

Tuesday: Sylvia Burnside - Fragrance

Wednesday: Peter Comfort - Washing Feet

Thursday: Ross Wilson - Da Vinci’s Last Supper

Friday: Jonathan Rea - Agnus Dei

The music will feature members of New Irish Choir and Orchestra and New Irish Youth Choir - a mixture of archive videos and some new performances specially prepared for the series.
