On 11th June at Brighton Dome, 125 students from five schools in Brighton & Hove will join Brighton Festival Chorus, Brighton Festival Youth Choir and City of London Sinfonia, in a concert to commemorate the 800thanniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta, and a reminder of its relevance to us today as a landmark and beacon of civilised society. The first half of the concert will be the world premiere of Invictus – Cantata for Liberty, composed by BFC Music Director James Morgan and Juliette Pochin, which uses poems and texts from Kipling to Emily Dickinson on the themes of justice, liberty and freedom. To add to the excitement of this unique family-friendly event a dramatically adapted version of Mozart’s Requiem with an excerpt from ‘Amadeus’ will be performed in the second half of the evening’s programme.
