The Lancaster Singers
M.HAYDN Requiem
W.A.MOZART Requiem (reconstructed Sussmayer)
The Sinfonietta joins Lancaster's most distinguished choir for the first time for a double Requiem performance.
The reconstructed Mozart Requiem is one of his most enduring works. It never fails to communicate the powerful emotions of the composer at this tragic juncture in his life.
The Haydn Requiem was also blighted by tragedy as the composer lost his daughter earlier that year - although the requiem was composed for the Count Archbishop of Salzburg, his personal loss was almost certainly what inspired this beautiful work.

The Wreck of the Titanic - David Bedford
Cumbria Music Service are delighted to announce a major performance of The Wreck of the Titanic at the Sands Centre, Carlisle.
The performance will take place one hundred years and a day after the sinking of the Titanic with the loss of over 1500 lives.
It is expected that over 400 children and young people from across Cumbria will be involved in the performance. In addition, eight members of the acclaimed Lancashire Sinfonietta will perform as the Titanic band.
Titanic had its beginnings in Cumbria with Maryport-born T.H. Ismay, first director of the enormously successful White Star Line, and the father of Bruce Ismay, commissioner of the Titanic and her sister ships Olympic and Britannic. Equally important to Titanic's story was the chief engineer, Joseph Bell. Born at Farlem outside Carlisle, Joseph Bell advised Thomas Andrews during the building of the Titanic. During the doomed ship's final hours, he ensured that power was maintained to operate the lights, lifeboat winches and emergency telegraph. Had it not been for his brave devotion to duty, many more lives would have been lost that night.
