Dr David Onac Composer and Lecturer in Harmony and Contemporary Music Studies at the University of Manchester has been awarded a substantial commission to write a Requiem (a c.45-minute piece for choir and orchestra) to be premiered in the underwriting room at Lloyd's in London.
This is sponsored by Lloyd's through the charity Culture& and is part of Lloyd's recently announced response to the recent discovery of documents which show their part in the transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans. One of the Requiem's aims is to memorialise these enslaved Africans.
