The Providence Singers will collaborate with the New England Philharmonic and Chorus pro Musica for the 50th anniversary of the work at a concert on Sunday, March 4 at 4pm at the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul in Providence; this Salon will help audience members more fully experience the musical and historical impact of this towering 20th century work. The events of our times – Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya – are almost custom-designed for a performance of the War Requiem in its 50th anniversary year and the reading of Owen's war poetry. Join us to explore cultural and historical themes of war and sacrifice that are so profoundly addressed by Owen through poetry and Britten through music.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:5-7 pm
