In honor of the centenary of the birth of Dylan Thomas, hundreds of singers will take over Lower Manhattan on June 21 in a participatory singing event by composer Pete M. Wyer, singing the words of the renowned poet across the landscape of his final days.
The piece, And Death Shall Have No Dominion — co-presented by LMCC, Poets House, and MMNY as part of the River To River Festival 2014 — is scored for a synchronized headphone choir, and uses an app that contains the accompaniment and synchronizes participants’ mobile devices.
Anyone can take part — you don’t need to read music or to have sung in a chorus to join!
