In Time of War

This commemoration of 100 years since the end of World War One will be a collaboration between Lichfield Cathedral Chamber Choir and Worcester Cathedral Chamber Choir, with the Darwin Ensemble Chamber Orchestra and professional soloists. Two major works will be presented: Haydn’s ‘Missa in tempore belli’, written soon after the French Revolution at a time when Haydn’s native Austria was threatened with invasion, and Gerald Finzi’s evocative ‘Requiem da Camera’, a setting of poems written during the First World War reflecting on the inevitable changes to English home life brought about by war.

This unique event will be staged at the West End of the cathedral. Tickets at the front of the nave are priced at £15, and those to the rear and in the side aisles are £13.
