A large space

Filled with wonderful music. Colin and I went to hear Benjamin Britten's War Requiem performed by the Nottingham Harmonic Choir directed by the Leicester Bach Choir music director, Richard Laing.

Being by Britten, it's not easy listening and it helps to have the words in front of you. The libretto marries the words of the Latin requiem mass with the poetry of Wilfred Owen who died just one week before the end of WWI. It's phenomenally moving.

Colin hadn't been to Nottingham for 20 years. He was extremely impressed by the trams, which conveyed us directly between the tram terminal at Clifton South and the Theatre Royal Concert Hall (pictured).

We met Richard outside who was delighted that we had come.
