Tickets are now on sale for the LONDON PREMIERE of
Eventide: In Memoriam Edith Cavell.
Tickets £18
The work honours the heroism of Edith Cavell, a nurse celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers
from both sides in World War I without discrimination. The London concert is to be deeply poignant
since the performance will take place exactly 100 years to the day after her
death by a German firing squad in 1915 for helping Allied soldiers escape from
occupied Belgium.
The concert will feature the Brandenburg Sinfonia and Addison
Singers under the baton of David Wordsworth.
Tiffin Boys Choir will provide the semi-chorus singing the haunting
melody of the well-known hymn Abide with Me which permeates the whole work, and
are the last words Cavell recited with her chaplain hours before her execution.
