The Armed Man by Karl Jenkins

14 June 2008 7.30 pm


"The Armed Man - A Mass For Peace" received its world première in April 2000 at London's Royal Albert Hall. In a rapturous performance, by turns visceral and ethereal, the Mass was "a firebomb of orchestral and human voices" (The Times) that drew "prolonged shouts of approval from the audience" (The Independent).

This work is the result of a special millennial commission from the Royal Armouries and the latest in a six century old tradition of "Armed Man" masses that take the fifteenth century French song "L'Homme Armé" as their starting point.
This will be a joint concert with Shoreham Oratorio Choir and will be performed at Lancing College.

Tickets priced £12 and £15 pounds are now available at The Book Shop, Steyning, The Secretary Shop, Henfield, Book Worms, High Street, Shoreham, The Rope Tackle Centre, Shoreham and from members of the two choirs involved in the concert.
