The National Concert Hall is delighted to announce the live debut screening of the acclaimed film Sing Sing with Artist-in-Residence Bryce Dessner’s live score performed by the National Symphony Orchestra with conductor Robert Ames. Dessner himself will host this very special event. 

 

The Oscar-tipped film is the true story of a group of inmates in Sing Sing prison who escape the grim realities of jail by putting on a play. This emotive tale of the redemptive power of the arts stars a cast of formerly incarcerated actors. Dessner’s score for Greg Quedar and Clint Bentley’s impactful drama is ‘dynamic and poignant, helping Sing Sing’s moving storyline soar to new heights’ (Broadway World.com).  

 

Straddling the worlds of rock music, classical music and film, Bryce Dessner is the very model of a major modern composer. Achieving fame as the multi-instrumentalist linchpin and co-writer for the Grammy Award-winning American rock band The National, the Cincinnati, Ohio-born Dessner is also one of today’s most original and successful classical composers. To mention his collaborations with pop royalty Taylor Swift and Paul Simon, and classical elites such as Philip Glass, Steve Reich and the Kronos Quartet only scratches the surface of a remarkable and unmatched talent. Dessner has also scored the Oscar-nominated film The Revenant, Cyrano and The Two Popes. 

 

This event is presented in collaboration with Black Bear and A24.

Faoin gCeoláras Náisiúnta      

Tá an Ceoláras Náisiúnta (CN) institiúid chultúrtha náisiúnta na hÉireann don cheol, a fhreastalaíonn go bródúil ar phobal na hÉireann ó osclaíodh é i 1981 trí thaibhithe ceoil beo agus cláir shuntasacha oideachais agus chultúrtha. Lonnaithe i gcroílár Bhaile Átha Cliath, agus béal dorais le Gairdíní Uíbh Eachach, tá an CN bródúil as ár gCeolfhoireann Shiansach Náisiúnta, chomh maith le háit chónaithe a chur ar fáil do réimse eagraíochtaí ceoil eile lena n-áirítear Cór Aireagail Éireann, Ceolfhoireann Bharócach na hÉireann, Music Network, Crash Ensemble agus Music Generation. Tá sé i gceist faoi láthair athfhorbairt mór á dhéanamh ar na háiseanna go léir mar chuid den Phlean Forbartha Náisiúnta agus de Thionscadal Éireann 2040.
