Venue  Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral

Poetry and song in which we review the world and western society ​before, during and after the great conflict
Although the music and poetry in this concert ranges from Tomkins (1572-1656) to the present – the Hering is the premiere of his new version of Lachrymose – at its heart is the conflict known as the Great War whose aftermath and influence continue to resonate. Conflict was and is, it seems, ever with us. What follows are varied and moving responses to war: patriotism, home-sickness, dissent, mourning.
