Since its premiere in 2000, Karl Jenkins’ modern masterpiece, The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace has been performed over 3,000 times. Its message remains as compelling as ever today. Written over the transition of the millennium, Jenkins reflects on the passing of ‘the most war-torn and destructive century in human history’.
