Musical forces from Imperial join Coventry Cathedral Chorus<\/strong>, Orpheus Sinfonia<\/strong> and the choristers of St George’s Chapel<\/strong> for an anniversary performance of Britten’s monumental War Requiem. First performed at the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral in 1962, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest choral works of the twentieth century. Britten’s great artistic statement of pacifism is a modern classic, provocatively juxtaposing the vivid anti-war poetry of Wilfred Owen with the Latin Requiem Mass in a passionate outcry against man’s inhumanity to man. It still resonates today as a timely reminder of both the horrors of war and the importance of forgiveness and solidarity for all mankind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
