This is a past event
Professor Steve Heys, Tom Scotland and the Chamber Choir of Robert Gordon's College, will present an unforgettable and moving experience.
Describing life and death in the trenches on the Western Front, the poetry and diaries of Siegfried Sassoon and the poetry and letters of Wilfred Owen will provide insight into the most appalling and almost unimaginable conditions endured by soldiers at the front line.The Robert Gordon's Chamber Choir will enrich the evening`s presentation with WW1 songs, which are at times cheerful and at times melancholy. They will complement the poetry and narrative to reflect the mood of the times.This is an act of remembrance, and the extremely moving finale will give cause for much reflection on the total waste of young lives brought about by war. Many of the soldiers who fought and died in battle were the same age as some members in the choir.
