This new community cantata by John Browne (composer-in-residence at the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King's College London) is a moving reflection on Nightingale herself and in particular on the nature of empathy on the personal, collective and spiritual levels. Featuring several choirs, including the choir of King's College London; a 100-strong choir of nurses, midwives, healthcare professionals and students assembled especially for this event, together with Mind and Soul (a choir of mental health patients from the South London and
Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust) – congregational singing, the King's College London Symphony Orchestra, dance and a nurses' gamelan group. With firsthand accounts of human suffering and healing.
