Description

Soak up an evening of culture with this outdoor live classical Battle Proms concert at Highclere Castle accompanied by a delicious picnic hamper of food and wine. The evening begins with Napoleonic and Infantry displays, then a vintage field guns fires a volley of shots to signify the music beginning. Carolyn Grace flies her LF Mark IX Spitfire across the sky to accompany the opening piece. The New English Concert Orchestra perform an array of rousing classical pieces such as Beethoven’s Battle Symphony and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture accompanied by live cannons and muskets. The night culminates in a traditional flag waving proms finale with favourites such as Jerusalem and Rule Britannia followed by a fireworks show.
