Michael Tippett’s secular oratorio is a heartfelt piece of music, inspired by the events of Kristallnacht in 1938. Borrowing from Bach, the singers narrate and reflect, often focusing on the underlying message of pacifism. Mark Forkgen conducts this piece that struggles between darkness and light. Programme: - Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No 5 - Michael Tippett: A Child of Our Time Seating allocated on arrival.
