Arun Ghosh

The Canticle of the Sun

This is a past event which has now ended.

Written in the Umbrian dialect by St Francis of Assisi in 1224, The Canticle of the Sun (translated as Praise of the Creatures) is a prayer celebrating the unity of nature, from the sun to the creatures that live beneath it. Written out of St Francis’ all-encompassing love of the natural world.

In this World Premiere inspired by a beautiful book picked up in a second-hand book shop, Arun Ghosh takes this ancient text and reimagines it through spiritual music from across the world. Deploying the range and subtleties of an eight piece band, The Canticle of the Sun harnesses the intensely evocative sounds of qawwali, meditative mantras, Ethiopian Mezmur, Gregorian chants and spiritual jazz to create a transcendental sound world.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
