With the performance of Vexations at St Paul\u2019s we are achieving three firsts. As far as we know, no performer has ever attempted the project solo before, secondly on different instruments and last but not least at different locations. \u201cI\u2019m especially looking forward to the early morning session in the high choir, which will be a magical moment. John Cage wrote that you can enter the Kingdom of Heaven if you start this work with a simple mind, I will definitely do my best.\u201d These are the words of Bart Rodyns, our titular organist who will be tormented, teased and taunted at St Paul\u2019s on Saturday, July 27th.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Vexations\u2019 was written in 1893 by Erik Satie (1866 \u2013 1925), the teasing composer on duty. It has barely 18 notes, divided over 3 lines, which are repeated 840 times according to an arithmetic scheme. Bart will spread the performance over twelve hours.<\/p>\n

Program:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n2pm \u2013 5pm: time for the big work in the church, historic organ \u2013 away the silence, fleeing from Satie is no longer possible
\n5pm \u2013 6pm: dim atmosphere and soloist in the crypt, chest organ \u2013 come and see, will Bart Rodyns survive his marathon?<\/p>\n
