This weekend, the Dayton Philharmonic will present Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem conducted by Keith Lockhart of the Boston Pops Orchestra. The concert is a collaboration between the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance and Wright State University’s center for Collaborative Education, Leadership, and Innovation in the Arts (CELIA) and will serve as a capstone WSU’s year-long commemoration of the 100th anniversary of WWI. Dr. Paul Lockhart, a WSU history professor and Keith Lockhart’s brother, will present a pre-concert lecture about the historic aspect of War Requiem.
The Lockhart brothers visited the WYSO studios to talk with Music Director Niki Dakota about War Requiem and this unique collaboration.
Listen to the interview from WYSO Public Radio.
