Nottingham Peacebuilders present - Fanfare For Hope
St Mary's Church | Nottingham
Saturday 27 October 2018 | 7.30pm
Tickets: £10 | £7 under 16s
An immersive experience of music and digital image, memory, poetry and song - a vision of war and a dream of peace.
A feast for the senses where music, image and voice interweave to create a spine-tingling narrative of war and peace. New suite of music from David Wilson and extracts from Britten's Billy Budd combine with powerful image projection by award-winning digital artist Barret Hodgson.
Synchronised to the music of trumpets, piano, percussion, organ and voice, images play on the stones around the auditorium and bring to life a powerful evocation of WWI by war hero and poet, Siegfried Sassoon.
Baritone Geoff Williams
Piano and organ John Keys (Director of Music, St Mary's)
Trumpet quartet: leader Gordon Truman
Percussion Tom Williams
Spoken word Tanya Myers
Conductor Derek Williams (Musical Director NSO)

Piano - Fitz Chamberlain Saint Pitman Brown
Harbour Lights (Grosz/Kennedy) sung by Abii
The story of a grandfather's WWI diary with extracts read by his grandson Andy McKay.
Special guest speaker Josie Parker - Hope For The Future
