Wilfred Owen’s Requiem Mass - 10th November - 7th Nov 2011 9:26pm
Owen’s iconic Requiem Mass to be played for the fallen heroes of Ingleborough Road during Remembrance Week.
The event will be held at the Wilfred Owen Story, 34 Argyle Street, Birkenhead during Remembrance Week and will feature contributions from a performer who took part in the première of this world famous tribute to Wilfred Owen in Coventry Cathedral in 1962.
Organiser Dean Johnson says “The original vinyl recording of this classic music is very rare today. It was one of the first pieces ever to pay tribute to Wilfred Owen and the fallen of WW1. We wanted to do something special for the museums first remembrance week and it is fitting to dedicate the day to the memorial field that honours Wilfred and 87 other soldiers remembered there. The War Memorial field is still under threat from development plans from TRFC so this is a way to pay respect to those men rather than decimate an irreplaceable part of the town’s social history.”
The afternoon begins at 3pm on Thursday 10th November. Admission free.
