Dublin - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 Irish Premiere of Poverty Requiem![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Event for UN World Poverty Day The celebrated Ballymun Gospel Choir give the first Irish performance of Peter Maissan's Povery Requiem on Sunday 14th October 2007. Around the world the Poverty Requiem is used in the context of the action campaign Global Call to Action against Poverty. The requiem is a vocal work bridging the gap between groups from different cultural backgrounds, between different continents and nationalities. Because the Requiem can be performed in any social and cultural context, by small and big troupes, with different musical and other artistic elements, such as dance, it is possible to view the Poverty Requiem as a community art project, in which a balance is created between amateurs and professionals, and between the artistic performance and the political message. |
