Benjamin Britten's War Requiem

My subject is war
and the pity of war.
The poetry is in the pity.
All a poet can do today is warn.
(Words from Wilfred Owen which grace the score's front page)
2MBS Presenter, music scholar and conductor, Dr. Neil McEwan AM, delivered a fascinating presentation on Benjamin Britten's War Requiem on Monday 6 November. He used a Sydney Conservatorium production from 2013 which he conducted in the Verbruggen Hall.
