Sunday, November 3, 2013
3:30 PM The Cannon Center $15 general admission More than twenty years after it was destroyed by a Nazi bombing raid in World War II, Coventry Cathedral was reconsecrated. Benjamin Britten was commissioned to compose a work to honor the occasion. As a pacifist, Britten was inspired by this task to make a statement. He interwove the traditional Latin Mass for the Dead texts with 9 poems by English poet, Wilfred Owen. Owen wrote these poems while serving in World War I, and was killed in action one day before the end of the war. To celebrate what would be Britten's 100th birthday, a portion of the Germantown Chorus will be joining the Rhodes MasterSingers Chorale, Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Memphis Boychoir, and Bartlett High School Concert Choir at The Cannon Center for this very moving performance.

Chorus Dinners
Would you like a private party hosted by Germantown Chorus? A catering and performance team from the Germantown Chorus will prepare and serve, in your home, a five-course gourmet dinner for 8-10 people and provide entertainment for your guests. The cost is per-person (to be negotiated, minimum of $60 pp) depending on menu and beverages served.
After deciding on a mutually agreed time and date, we only ask that you provide your home, or other location, the kitchen, dining table, chairs and place settings for your guests, and a well-tuned grand or baby-grand piano. We do everything else and turn the lights off when we depart! You may also bid on this dinner as a live auction item at the annual Music At Twilight concert and extravaganza in October each year!
