With only one week until the release of his new album A Quiet Divide, Rhian Sheehan kicks off a special run of shows across New Zealand this weekend. Sheehan will lead eight musicians to perform a truly sublime and emotive, immersive audio-visual show.
Members of the Dunedin Youth Orchestra, directed by Dunedin composer Anthony Ritchie, add a rich layer of sound to this cinematic experience to help close out the Arts Festival Dunedin.
With a visual backdrop created by Weta Workshop and a host of NZ's best animators, these live shows will combine orchestral and electronic brilliance with stunning visuals and is not to be missed.
Following on from Dunedin, Sheehan will perform in Wellington, Nelson and Auckland.
