To mark the centenary of the 1912 disaster, the influential 1969 Gavin Bryars composition The Sinking of the Titanic is to be performed live by the composer and his ensemble in two special concerts – one at the Barbican in London and one at our very own Town Hall in Birmingham. Inspired by reports that the RMS

Titanic’s string ensemble continued to play the hymn, Autumn as the ship sank, this moving production is beautifully intimate.
