Join Mary King and members of the 91福利社 Singers to sing excerpts from Britten鈥檚 War Requiem. Open to ages 16-plus.
- 19:30Royal Albert Hall
Baritone Roderick Williams joins the 91福利社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in music inspired by the First World War. Butterworth鈥檚 setting from Housman鈥檚 A Shropshire Lad depicts a world on the brink of collapse, while Vaughan Williams鈥檚 Pastoral Symphony is a curdled vision of war-ravaged France. Both Rudi Stephan and Frederick Kelly were killed in the conflict, the latter leaving behind the exquisite Elegy for strings, the former the more muscular Music for Orchestra (1912).
