Titanic 1912: A Musical Night to Remember

Titanic 1912: A Musical Night to Remember On the 100th anniversary of the disaster, come rediscover the musical mysteries surrounding the steamship Titanic

In an unprecedented media frenzy of 1912, composers, publishers and musicians busily jumped on the bandwagon, all to fill the insatiable appetite of a Titanic-crazed public.
