Wilfred Owen Festival - Classical Music Concert
  • Christ Church. Chapel Street,
    Oswestry.
    SY11 1JN
A Concert for Peace & Reconciliation directed by Christopher Symons and featuring the Wilfred Owen String Quartet of instruments.

The music has been specially chosen to reflect the Festival's general theme of Peace and Reconciliation, including Edward Elgar's glorious Piano Quintet of 1918, in which his deep longing for just such peace (as well as some of the anguish which preceded it) is so poignantly expressed. A similar desire can be felt in “The Lark Ascending” by Vaughan Williams (an ambulance driver on the Somme in WW1) as he turns to nature and its consoling beauty. Other short works in the same poignant mood will include the theme music from the film Schindlers List which will be played on another very special instrument - the “Auschwitz Violin”- as written about in the book “The Fiddle” by Natalie Cumming.
