The Armed Man: Karl Jenkins

About

The choir, in its 10th year will be joined once again by The Chorlton Festival Orchestra, drawn from local musicians who come together each year, especially for this event.

The centrepiece of the evening will be a performance in the full orchestral setting, of Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man – A Mass for Peace. This piece combines real drama and poignancy, to convey the horror, futility and loss of war and is particularly appropriate for this anniversary concert.

The programme will also feature a varied selection of shorter items, to include Jenkins – Adiemus, from Songs of Sanctuary, Elgar – For the Fallen, from Spirit of England and Faure- Cantique de Jean Racine.

As a consequence of the larger Orchestra and Chorus, we will unfortunately, have fewer tickets available this year, so please book early to avoid disappointment!

The admission price includes interval refreshments.

 Concessionary tickets are available at £10 via glor-chorlton@outlook.com or 07738161352
