Sing Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man with the Danesborough Chorus in Milton Keynes

The Danesborough Chorus will be rehearsing the most performed work of this generation, Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man, starting on Wednesday, June 27.

The chorus has chosen this work because this year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.

The Armed Man, which is subtitled A Mass for Peace, was first performed in 2000, and it reflects on the passing of a war-torn century, looking forward in hope to a more peaceful future.

The choir will continue rehearsing each Wednesday through July, before taking a summer break in August.

Rehearsals resume on Wednesday, September 5, in preparation for a concert jointly with Bedford Choral Society and Milton Keynes City Orchestra in Milton Keynes Theatre on Sunday, October 14.

New singers, in all voice parts, are invited to join them in Aspley Guise Village Hall on June 27, 7.45 pm-9.50 pm.

If you'd like to sing this 20th century choral classic with us, please phone membership secretary Carol Yirrell on 01296 680328 or click here
