Titanic Commemoration Concert

The sinking of the RMS Titanic, in 1912, was a catastrophic event which has since passed into myth and legend. On April 27th, 2024, the CMO will be marking the 112th anniversary of the loss of the largest ship of its time. The Titanic’s failure to live up to its unsinkable expectations marked the end of the Edwardian period and the passing of the age of innocence. The CMO has chosen a special program of music to commemorate the loss of the great ship, and the 1500 souls who did not survive its sinking.
