Join Blackheath Halls Chorus for this Take Part project as we perform Michael Tippett’s powerful and moving oratorio, A Child of Our Time.
This extraordinary work explores themes of oppression and humanity, drawing inspiration from Bach’s Passions while weaving in the profound beauty of African American spirituals. The result is deeply stirring music that speaks to the heart of human experience, culminating in a strong message of hope and reconciliation.
Whether you’re an experienced singer or looking to try something new, this is a wonderful opportunity to be part of something special. Come and discover why this oratorio continues to resonate so powerfully today.
