Nearby The Sinking of the Titanic

One hundred years since the sinking of the Titanic, the story will be ignited once more with this special concert to mark the anniversary. Reports that the ship's string ensemble endured the astonishing scene that played out before them, and continued with an emotional performance of the hymn tune Autumn as the vessel went down, have created the inspiration for the piece The Sinking of the Titanic, composed in 1969 and first recorded for Brian Eno's Obscure label in 1975. Performed by Gavin Bryars Ensemble, with Philip Jeck on turntables, this concert will bring the scene to life again at the Barbican Hall.When booking online, enter 15412 to receive 20% discount.
