Thursday Lates: Pop-up Concert

Join us for a special pop-up concert of Messiaen's Appel Interstellaire with horn player Dewi Jones as part of our Thursday Lates celebration..

Originally created to memorialise Messiaen’s pupil and friend Jean-Pierre Guézec, a French composer who died age 36, Appel Interstellaire (“Interstellar Call”) is a solo piece for French Horn; the fourth in a suite of twelve orchestral movements known as Des Canyons aux Étoiles (“From the Canyon to the Stars”).

Famous for using birdsongs in his work, Messiaen has two bird calls woven into Appel Interstellaire and also draws inspiration from the canyons of Utah.

Dewi Jones is a Dublin based horn player and frequently works with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and Irish National Opera.

This free concert is part of our Thursday Lates event. Find out more about everything else that's happening here: https://www.nationalgallery.ie/whats-on/thursday-lates
