A choir made up of health staff will star in a free concert at Lichfield Cathedral.
The Derby and Burton Hospitals Staff Wellbeing Choir will perform at 2pm on 8th October.
A Choral Forest is billed as a chance to “reflect on the past two years of the pandemic and to celebrate the power of music and art to heal”.
A spokesperson said:
“The concert will take place amidst an exhibition of beautiful hand-drawn tree sculptures in a art installation by E J Lance.
“The work was inspired by poetry and pictures shared by our NHS staff during the pandemic.
“Each of the five trees in the forest stands over two metres tall and is designed to reflect each of our five hospital sites.
“The whole ‘forest’ of trees will be on display in the cathedral from 12th September.”
The health staff will perform alongside Lichfield Cathedral Choir.
“This performance offers a chance to reflect on our experiences of the past two years, to be grateful to our amazing NHS staff, to pay tribute to those loved ones we have lost, and to look forward to the future.
“It represents a moment to pause and reflect, to be thankful and to take time to recover and heal.
“The choirs will be singing music created by Air Arts in response to the pandemic, including the charity single A Grateful Heart and brand-new piece The Longest Winter, as well as other music chosen to reflect their experiences.”
Free tickets can be booked online.
