The Armed Man- Kington Choral Society

24th June 2023 @ 7:30 pm

£20

DON’T MISS ”THE ARMED MAN”!

Kington Choral Society are delighted to be joined by the Bannau Brycheiniog Chamber Orchestra, soprano Serena Jopson, and muezzin Abdul Quddos for a very special performance in Presteigne of Welsh composer Karl Jenkins' hugely popular "The Armed Man".

First performed in 2000, the piece charts the growing menace of a descent into war, interspersed with moments of reflection, and ends with the hope for peace in a new millennium, when "sorrow, pain and death can be overcome".

The concert will start with Handel's rousing Coronation anthem, “Zadok the Priest” followed by music by Vaughan Williams, William Walton, and the very first performance of "The Storm" by local composer Julian Reeves.

The concert takes place in St Andrew's Church, Presteigne on Saturday 24th June at 7:30pm.  Refreshments will be on sale during the interval.

£20 (under-18s free). Tickets on sale at the Salty Dog (Presteigne), Tower House Gallery (Knighton), and Border Bean (Kington).
