Matchless independent artist Sufjan Stevens has written, arranged and released 10 EPs of Christmas songs and gifted them to the world for others to play. From the beautiful Sister Winter to the anarchic Ding-a-ring-a-ling-a-ring to the joyous Put the Lights on the Tree, Stevens has written a Christmas song for everyone, featuring his trademark lush flurries of woodwind and synths, asymmetric time signatures, intimate truthful whispers and warm-hearted festive confessionals. An array of soloists, an instrumental ensemble and community choir come together in this epic evening of communal celebration, including instant songwriting, pass the parcel and an audience singalong. A alternative festive treat from an intergenerational team led by Ben McCabe (Paddy Garrigan and the Stroller Priests), Bob Lockwood (Slow Dust), Dean Brodrick (Nick Mulvey and the GoBetweens), Freya Nankivell (beatroute), Hugh Nankivell (FOWL), Cormac Thomas (Corkivell) and Wils Wilson. All ages welcome.
