The Full Works Concert

CLASSIC FM, 8.00PM

 The other classical music feast worth enjoying tonight is more of a full-blooded, patriotic experience, marking the 75th anniversary of the Dam Buster raid on this day in 1943. Catherine Bott presents an evening of music inspired by both war and peacetime, which features as its centrepiece Coates’s Dam Busters March, performed by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force. Other highlights include John Williams’s Hymn to the Fallen, performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.
