Britten, War Requiem
Sunday 3rd May 2009, The Bridgewater Hall
The University of Manchester Chorus performs Britten's magnificent War Requiem at the Bridgewater Hall, a new venture in the University's history. Coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the start of World War Two, this piece poignantly tells of the sacrifice and lessons of war, interspersing the poetry of Wilfred Owen with the Mass for the Dead. The performance will see the Chorus joined by renowned soloists including Amanda Roocroft as well as choristers and two orchestras. We hope you will be able to join us on the momentous and historic occasion.
