Vietnam Requiem Musical Event


Vietnam Requiem - Flowers of War

2 Shows.  The AWM has altered the planned start time for the Vietnam Requiem to 1300 hours on the 5th and the 6th June 2021.  The Musical Director Chris Latham is incredibly focussed on this event and will give his all-in honour of Vietnam Veterans who served in that campaign.  The Vietnam War was a long war involving many events that I suspect Chris Latham is trying to include in this musical requiem.  Tickets will be available in early 2021 and the event is open to the general public.  (as per the site).  Note – the Vietnam Requiem will be performed on both Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th June.
