Glass Orchestra at Liss Ard

Join us for sound-light meditation at Liss Ard Estate, Skibbereen with a staged-improvisational performance directed by Ali Morrison, concert pianist, and played on glass or porcelain vessels. Participants who want to be part of the orchestra are invited to The Workshop and audience welcomed to The Performance.

The Workshop: Participants are to bring 3 or 4 smooth uncut glass or porcelain vessels for assessment by our virtuoso.  Then assemble by 5.30pm before the performance to tune your instruments and rehearse. Wear black, be prepared to sit on the floor and bring a cushion.

The Performance:  The candle-lit world of sound and light calls you to listen to the resonance of vibrating glass.

Workshop attendees arrive 4pm, Saturday 18 December €12 (including mulled wine and nibbles)

Audience to arrive 7pm, Saturday 18 December €12 (including mulled wine and nibbles served at 7pm)
