Programme Note
Following last year's highly acclaimed World Premiere in Norwich Cathedral, the London Premiere of Eventide: In Memoriam Edith Cavell is to take place on 12th October 2015.
The work, written by leading British composer Patrick Hawes, honours the heroism of nurse Edith Cavell and this London concert is to be deeply poignant since the performance will take place on the EXACT centenary of her death by a German firing squad in 1915 for helping Allied soldiers escape from occupied Belgium.
