LSO collaborates with the Lied Cetner for Performing Arts for Benjamin Britten's powerfully dramatic War Requiem.  Britten interwove the traditional Latin requiem mass with text from Wilfred Owen, a prominent World War I poet.  The mammoth oratorio is scored for nearly 400 performers and includes a symphonic orchestra, chamber orchestra, organ, vocal soloists, boys choir, and full mixed-voice choir.
