A Northern Requiem was written to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the 1984-5 Miners’ Strike. Working with members of the former mining communities, Rose Hill Arts Centre in Chesterfield have created a piece that celebrates the lives of their community; recalls a year that left an indelible impact on the town of Chesterfield and the surrounding area and challenges perceptions of one of the most tumultuous years in our modern history.

​Composed by RHAC Artistic Director Jonathan Francis, A Northern Requiem blends together the Requiem Mass with contemporary poetry and picket line chants into an emotionally charged new choral work.
