'The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace,' Jenkins |
| Performance Notes | The Really Big Chorus returns with 1,000+ voices to showcase Sir Karl Jenkins 20th-century choral classic The Armed Man: a Mass for Peace with a supporting programme of popular orchestral works. Come and be amazed by the power and commitment of this splendid chorus, comprising choirs and individual singers from all over the UK and abroad.
The Armed Man fuses words and music from many different centuries and cultures in condemnation of war and the misery it brings: war wherever it is diminishes us all. The words of the Latin Mass are juxtaposed with the Adhan (the Muslim call to prayer), with the Mahabharata (an ancient Indian epic) and poetry from across the world.
Hospitality Dining tickets were availble for £219.50 which included stalls seat, champagne, three course dinner in Coda, wine, beverages and souvenir programme. |
