A special event to remember 1916 through poems and music is to be hosted by the Bath Poetry Café group next month, as part of B&NES Council’s World War 1 Centenary programme.
‘Requiem for the World’ commemorates the third year of the First World War through the words of writers from across Europe who had first-hand experience of fighting on the frontline.
The Voices 2016 event, supported by Bath & North East Somerset Council, will take place on Thursday 10th November at 7.30pm at the BRLSI in Queen Square, Bath.
Councillor Patrick Anketell-Jones (Conservative, Lansdown), Cabinet Member for Economic Development, said: “This is the third of an annual series of events which will look at writing, poetry and songs from each year of the First World War. With contemporary photographs and work by the war artists, readers and singers from Bath Poetry Café and Walcot State Choir will host this special evening of remembrance.”
The event is free but a contribution to Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal is encouraged.
