On 11th March, Emma will sing Harrie Janssen‘s “A Poem Against War” with Het Fanfare Collectif and conductor Jurgen Nab at the Flemmish Open Wind Band Championships in Heist-op-den-Berg, Belgium.
“A Poem Against War” is a beautiful piece for mezzo and wind band. The poem, by New York poet Karen Karpowich, is the reflections of a person seeing a war memorial and realising the futility of war and the tragedy that the soldiers are forgotten.
