We’ll Meet Again (2025)

In celebration of both our 30th Anniversary in 2025, and in commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, our I Can Sing! students performed We’ll Meet Again, a compilation of several HMDT Music commissions about different aspects of the Second World War.

It includes ‘The Blitz’ scene from Jonathan Dove and Alasdair Middleton’s opera The Hackney Chronicles, excerpts from our Home Front revue I’ll Be Seeing You (2005) by Matthew King and Alasdair Middleton, and music from Hear Our Voice by both Jonathan Dove and Matthew King, set to a libretto Tertia Sefton-Green, compiled from the writings of children of the Holocaust. It embraces a range of emotional experiences from fear, loss, defiance to community, friendship, family, patriotism, humour and above all, hope.
