Event information
An hour-long Sunday afternoon concert to mark the 80th birthday year of Karl Jenkins. The concert will comprise Jenkins's popular work "The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace", composed in 2000 and commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum to commemorate the millennium.
The poignancy and relevance of the work is heightened by the fact that the CD recording was released on 10th September 2001, the day before the tragic events in the United States. Sadly its relevance continues in today's world.
