This illustrated talk will explore some of the well-known stories of the conflict, such as the bombing of the Art Gallery, the Southampton Blitz and the use of the town in the aftermath of D-Day, and will also explore some of the less-well-known events of the war.
 Voyages of the Heart features 25 musicians from six music sounds: Gospel, Folk, Indian Classical, Soul, Opera and Reggae composed by talented Tunde Jegede. The piece beautifully blends these varied styles together to create a multi-layered musical journey which is reflective of Southampton’s multicultural population. Watch the Trailer.
