REQUIEM FOR THE LIVING
You are supposed to cry in this concert. Think of your one, true love – the love that you let go. Think of pain, aching and awful. Think of loss – of death, of tragedy.
Now, think of that sliver of light amidst the dark – cling to it, for it will get you through.
PROVOCATEUR
Write your own rules, then break ’em. Rebel against normal, against platitudes, against mediocrity. Agitate. In this concert, we play the music that broke new ground, pissed off the Establishment and allowed the new generation emerge.
BATTLECRY
You are a warrior, wielding a bloodied sword and a scarred flag, marching resolutely towards your enemy. You will fight, and you will win. We hit you with epic orchestral moments from World of Warcraft and a suite from epic video games. There’s also a good dose of Beethoven for you purists out there.
INNOCENCE & EXPERIENCE
The vigour and frivolity of youthful innocence vs the heartache, passion and grit of experience. A 60 minute emotional marathon of raw energy.
