Requiem

Requiem

There's lots of music that we associate with Herefordshire - from Elgar, The Pretenders, Mott The Hoople to Ellie Goulding.

Ìý
But if you're expecting a pretty, light-weigh piece about the joys of living on the side of the beautiful Malvern Hills, then what they are doing might come as a bit of a surprise.
Ìý
It's called Requiem For Aleppo - and as well as bringing home the plight of the people driven from the city, it has an underlying message of hope.
