Join Durham University Choral Society for their first concert of the year as they perform Finzi’s "Magnificat" and "Lo, the Full, Final Sacrifice", closing with Elgar’s "The Music Makers".

Conducted by Tim Burke, Durham University Choral Society presents a programme of reflection and sacrifice this Remembrance Day.

The concert opens with Finzi’s "Magnificat", a powerful introduction and a tribute to his 125th birth and 70th death anniversary. Following is his, "Lo, the Full, Final Sacrifice", a thought-provoking anthem expressing lament and suffering.

The night builds up to Elgar’s "The Music Makers", where he brings out the creativity of what makes us human. The imagery of 'a singer who sings no more' is the epitome of the delicate transience of life, vividly foregrounding the importance of the world’s past.
