About

Following the outstanding success of his acclaimed jazz suite Fish Tales, comes A Requiem, an exciting and ambitious commission of new music which brings together the dynamic compositional talents of the multi-award winning reeds player Alan Barnes, and guitarist Pat McCarthy, plus the creative imagination of poet Josie Moon.

Featuring a stellar line-up of international jazz musicians, A Requiem examines the impact of conflict on individuals across a century, and is an audacious, daring challenging, moving, but ultimately uplifting and soulful work, which invites the audience to both remember the history of conflict, and resolve to do better in the future.
