Description

For lovers of classical music, this summer Battle Proms concert at Ragley Hall is sure to hit the mark. On arrival, pick up a chilled bottle of Le Dolci Colline Rose Prosecco and soak up in the splendour of Ragley Hall as Napoleonic Cavalry and Infantry displays kick the evening off, followed by shots from a vintage field gun and a choreographed display from Carolyn Grace in her LF Mark IX Spitfire. The New English Orchestra performs a gallant set of classic pieces including Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Beethoven’s Battle Symphony, before the evening’s dramatic conclusion: a flag waving proms finale with Jerusalem, Rule Britannia and other favourites led by Channel 4’s winning soprano Denise Leigh. To conclude, fireworks flood the night’s sky.
