ECS will remember in concert next week
This concert will feature Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, from 1948, and Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man; subtitled A Mass for Peace, this piece was commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum for the Millennium celebrations. It combines religious and historical texts to reflect on the horrors of war, juxtaposing a military atmosphere with contemplative passages, all resolving in a sense of hope for the future.
Under musical director John Hancorn and with regular accompanist Nick Houghton (organ), ECS will be joined by Briony Lambert (mezzo-soprano) and the Eastbourne Chamber Ensemble. Tickets £12 from the Tourist Information Centre, www.wegottickets.com or on the door.
