This concert was given to raise funds in support of the Lighthouse Academy, which is the flagship programme for creative engagement at Lighthouse; offering schools, young people and artists a range of training and development opportunities as well as providing a safe space in which to explore ideas and build creative networks. In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, the programme has been selected to provoke thoughts, reflections and memories.

The Chorus has a longstanding connection with Bournemouth-born Parry’s Blest Pair of Sirens dating back to our origins as the Bournemouth Municipal Choir.
Richard Blackford originally wrote Echo, a setting of Christina Rosetti’s poem, in memory of Sandrey Date, a much respected and long serving Trustee, Music Advisor and member of the Bass Section. Richard has now extended this to form a suite of songs including further settings of Christina Rosetti poems: Up-Hill and A Hope Carol.
