On Land and Sea | Oldham Choral Society

A specially themed concert to mark the end of WW1, featuring Karl Jenkins’s 'The Armed Man', 'Songs of the Fleet' by Stanford, and 'Fantasia on British Sea Songs' by Sir Henry Wood. We will be joined as usual by our 'resident' orchestra, the East Lancs Sinfonia and Dean Robinson (baritone). Falling as it does on the actual Centenary of the Cessation of Hostilities, the programme will combine the theme of sadness for those who died or were wounded, with that of thankfulness and celebration for the coming of peace. Full of melodic and attractive tunes, this concert will be a rare treat for music lovers, and is likely to book up quickly, so don’t miss out!
