Concert in the Rain – 9/11 Memorial Concert in London

9/11 Memorial Concert in Grosvenor Square, 11 September 2011.  Photo © Eugenie Absalom

 

A Concert of Reflection took place outside the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square as part of commemorative events in the UK to mark the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York.  11th September 2011.

The concert went on in the soaking rain on Sunday evening. Amazingly, rainbow could be seen through the rain over Grosvenor Square.

Sir Christopher Meyer, Ambassador to the United States at the time of the attacks on the World Trade Centre, paid his respects to the families of 67 British people, killed in the massacre and of all of the victims of terror.

Da Pacem Domine (Give Peace, Oh Lord) by Arvo Pärt, performed by the Byron Consort

 

The British Memorial Garden Trust UK Ltd in association with The September Concert Foundation and September 11th United Kingdom Families Support Group presented the concert that featured the Welsh Guards and the Harrow School Byron Consort Choir among its performers.

I was totally enchanted by the heavenly piece Da Pacem Domine (Give Peace, Oh Lord) by contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, gracefully performed by The Byron Consort choristers.  Cheerful Welsh Guards band brought the concert in the rain to an optimistic finale.
