This concert will feature two arrangements of well-known wartime songs alongside the world premiere of a new symphonic work by Jersey- based composer Emily de Gruchy, commissioned by ArtHouse Jersey.

This new composition is a narrative exploration of the experience of Wurzach by those forcibly deported British-born Channel Islanders (and their families) to German internment camps from 1942-1945, an experience often underrepresented in the narrative of the Occupation. For 618 British people two-and-a-half years behind barbed wire was a reality. This composition depicts this period, using the written accounts of those who lived it. Many musicians of Jersey, British and European descent will come together to perform the work, and the premiere will be a symbolic event celebrating perspectives of the past and present.
