A Requiem of reflection on a year of great upheaval, events that resounded around the world and when climate change really came to the fore. Written for chorus and four soloists plus orchestra it is thrilling work based around the traditional religious liturgy but with added lyrics sourced from quotations by Martin Luther King Jnr, JK Rowling, Khalil Gibran and Joaquin Phoenix, as well as the last words by George Floyd – “I can’t breathe!”

Tickets are limited so book early. Below is a plan to help you see what seating areas are available for purchase. All seats are unreserved in each seating area. Some seats in the Nave and Crossing areas have slightly restricted views due to pillars. All seats in the Quire have limited view of the performance area, but the sound is excellent and the concert will be shown on screens.

The concert is being live-streamed for webcast simultaneously and will be available to watch on demand for 30 days afterwards.
