July 19th, 8:00pm - Chester Cathedral
You are warmly invited to a very special concert, the final act of this year’s Music Festival in Chester Cathedral. This will be one hundred years to the day after Austria took the fateful decision to invade Serbia, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand three weeks earlier. Over the following weeks these fateful happenings led to the outbreak of the First World War, bringing Russia, Germany, France and Britain into a conflict whose momentous events still shape our world.
In one of the most important concerts in the region this year the Chester Festival Chorus will combine with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of the rising young conductor, James Burton, and the wonderful soloists Judith Howarth and William Dazeley, to perform pieces of music by two of Britain’s finest composers, Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The programme comprises:
Elgar’s Spirit of England, written in 1915, is a setting of three poems by Laurence Binyon which include ‘For the Fallen’ with its words ‘...at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them’. Ralph Vaughan Williams, who served on the Western Front, wrote ‘Dona Nobis Pacem’ in 1936 and it paints a picture of war and a prayer for peace.
The concert will begin with Elgar’s ‘Sospiri’. You’ll find booking details on the website http://chesterfestivalchorus.org.uk/ under ‘This year’ but David Pawson could buy tickets for you at a performers’ discount of 15%.
