Benjamin Britten wrote his War Requiem for the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral after the original was destroyed in the Second World War.
For its text, Britten took the Latin Mass For The Dead and interspersed it with nine poems by Wilfred Owen.
The Requiem is a large-scale work, scored for three soloists, a chamber orchestra, a full choir and main orchestra, a boys' choir and organ.
Tickets £27.50 to £6.
