With this wide-ranging concert featuring music of peace and remembrance , Auckland Choral honours those 18,000 New Zealand casualties — including 5000 who died — a hundred years ago in the horror of the Ypres front line around Passchendaele .
Music by Belgian , French and New Zealand composers will be performed , including the calm Requiem by French composer Maurice Duruflé , works by the Belgian-born César Franck , and a moving solo sonata by Belgian violinist-composer Eugène Ysaÿe .
Musical tributes from New Zealanders will feature a work by David Hamilton and new music on the theme of peace by young composers Sarah Fouhy and Lachlan Grant , first and second prizewinners respectively in the 2016 APO Student Composers competition .
