The London Chorus and Petroc Trelawny for a VE Day 80th Anniversary concert – 7:30pm
On the 8th May The London Chorus is joining people up and down the country to mark the historic 80th anniversary of VE Day and celebrate 80 years of peace since the end of the Second World War in Europe with a performance of Arthur Bliss’ Morning Heroes. The work is a choral symphony in five sections and scored for narrator, chorus and large orchestra. The poems Bliss chose are wide ranging – Homer, Whitman, Owen, Li Tai Po and Roger Nichols. Morning Heroes was composed for the Norwich Festival in 1930. The score is powerful and dramatic. Performances are rare and here is a chance to experience a masterpiece.

A giant in the world of radio and television broadcasting, Petroc is one of the best-known voices across the BBC’s classical music programming having presented the BBC Proms on radio and television for 25 years.
