THE English Symphony Orchestra present their remembrance concert on Friday November 9 at Malvern Theatres.
This special occasion has a very special relevance with the recent atrocities in New York and the current armed responses. These current affairs have touched us all in some way and in a remarkable way has brought the world a little closer together to fight the threat of terrorism.
Included in this programme is the wonderful Adagio of Samuel Barber, that was performed in the changed programme of The Last Night of the Proms, a work that has associations, through its use in films, with sad occasions. The programme also includes the Bach Concerto in D minor for Two Violins, performed by two principal players in the orchestra, Janet Masters and Susan Burnard, with the Faure Requiem, in its original version, closing the concert.
The Choir is the St Michael's Singers who are based in Coventry Cathedral - a fitting connection for a memorial concert - and the conductor is Paul Leddington Wright, who is probably better known as the conductor on Songs of Praise.
The soloist in Faure's evocative Pie Jesu from the Requiem will be the Worcester Cathedral Choir solo treble, Ben Roberts.
Tickets are available at the Malvern Theatres Box Office on 01684 892277.
