Battle Proms Picnic Concerts 2025

Описание: Alongside the breathtaking displays the Battle Proms is famous for - uplifting music, fireworks, Spitfire, cannons, cavalry, parachutes – 2025 was a Vintage Spectacular to celebrate the VE Day 80th anniversary year in style!

The crowd got their toes tapping with the gorgeous harmonies and 1940s glamour of the Battle Proms Belles and their superb live band, and joined in with the fabulous moves from the Victory Swing dancers.

Audience members revived the nostalgia of a bygone era at the fascinating WWII living history displays led by the country’s foremost wartime enthusiasts, with authentic vintage vehicles, memorabilia and expert re-enactors; what better way to mark this special anniversary year!

As ever there was a breathtaking orchestral programme of iconic pieces from film, TV and the musicals alongside uplifting classical music we know and love, including Holst’s Jupiter accompanied by an aerial display from the legendary Grace Spitfire; the 1812 Overture and Beethoven’s 'Battle Symphony' complete with 200 live firing cannons; themes from The Great Escape and 633 Squadron; much-loved operatic arias from superstar soprano Denise Leigh, and all closing with a jubilant flag-waving, sing-along finale with all the traditional proms favourites like Jerusalem, Rule, Britannia!, Land of Hope and Glory and more under a sky of dazzling fireworks!
