The 500 year story of the More-Molyneux family and their home at Chartwell Concert - A Musical Salute to the Royal Air Force
Wednesday 04 May 2011
Press Release No 01/11
Atmospheric Chartwell, the former residence of Air Commodore Sir Winston Churchill, will be brought to life by this patriotic celebration of the role of the Royal Air Force - "Yesterday and Today". The Central Band of the Royal Air Force will take centre stage for this twilight concert on the 3rd & 4th September. Supported by displays of historic and modern RAF aircraft, special effects, archive and modern film footage - this concert will bring alive some of the RAF's greatest moments of yesterday and today. Men and women of today's RAF will join the band in a celebration of their current service culminating in an uplifting, patriotic finale.
A sell out 3,000 people attended last year's Battle of Britain concert so an additional night has been added for 2011. Director of Music for the RAF Central Band, Piers Morrell said "Last year's concert was a highlight for the band, it was a great honour to perform at the former home of Sir Winston Churchill and we are very much looking forward to bringing a brand new programme to Chartwell this year".
The Royal Air Forces Association is the chosen charity for this event; the association is dedicated to supporting serving and former RAF personnel and their families.
Unlike traditional Proms Concerts held throughout the summer, this unique production will take spectators on a flight through time – from the early days of the Royal Air Force to today's modern fighting force.
