Dona Nobis Pacem Vaughan Williams Collegium Musicum of London Chamber Choir

The centrepiece of Collegium Musicum of London’s summer concert, commemorating  the end of World War One, is Vaughan Williams’s impassioned plea for peace Dona nobis pacem.


The composer wrote the cantata in 1936 amid fears that a new global conflict was looming. It takes the form of six movements, with the poetry of Walt Whitman – as well as passages from both the Mass and the Bible – providing the text.  The phrase Dona nobis pacem (‘Give us peace’) punctuates the entire work.


Soloists Augusta Hebbert (soprano) and Michael Hickman (baritone) will appear alongside actor Brendan Charleson, in an evening of choral music and readings to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice in 1918.


By coincidence, the same year saw the death of C. Hubert Parry, whose visionary work My Soul, There Is A Country, from the Songs of Farewell cycle, will feature in the programme.


Also included in the concert is the work of one of England’s most popular early-20th-century composers, George Butterworth, whose short life was curtailed by a sniper’s bullet on the Somme in 1916. His rhapsodic setting of A.E. Housman’s exquisite collection of verses 

A Shropshire Lad will be performed by Michael Hickman, accompanied by Andrew Tait on piano.


With a sprinkling of popular songs from the era, alongside heartrending dispatches from the trenches, Dona nobis pacem promises to be a poignant and fitting tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Great War.



Tickets £16, £14 (concessions) 

available on the door, in advance

What happens in our Red Tent?

  • As we welcome all to the atmospheric space, we sit in a circle in the presence of candles and a cup of herbal tea is provided.

  • After settling in the space and slowing down from the busyness of the outside world, we engage in a meditation/visualization (guided or silent).

  • We then check in with each other, passing around a “talking stick” giving every woman a chance to share a thought, an experience, something about her journey, while we listen with openness and non-judgment. Women do not have to share if they do not wish to and are welcome to just sit and soak up the atmosphere. 

  • We enter creative space, some ideas are:

- We do some free movement or dance to celebrate our feminine nature and to express any non-verbal, embodied impulses and energies.
- We paint, we draw, we create an installation inspired from female experiences/objects.
- We read, we write, we share poems.
- We sing or make music.

This is a sacred, safe space of connection with no judgement open to all womenWho is this event for?
All women are welcome! We celebrate the beauty of all ages, backgrounds, sexual orientation and spiritual or religious beliefs.
