Singers from across Dorset are being encouraged to take part in a special one-day choral event in Dorchester this autumn.
The "Come and Sing" performance of Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace will be held at St Mary's Church in Edward Road on Saturday, October 17.
Participants will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform the popular contemporary work alongside orchestral accompaniment during the afternoon.
The event is open to singers of all abilities, with rehearsals beginning at 2pm before an informal performance at 4.30pm.
Tickets to take part cost £23 if booked in advance, rising to £25 on the door.
Reduced-price places costing £5 are available for students and people on low incomes.
The fee includes music hire and refreshments.
Those who would prefer to attend as audience members are welcome to come along to the 4.30pm performance.
Organisers say donations received during the event will support St Mary's Church's windows appeal.
Composed by Welsh musician Sir Karl Jenkins, The Armed Man has become one of the most frequently performed choral works of recent decades.
Written as a reflection on the horrors of war and the importance of peace, it combines texts and musical influences from around the world.
