Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of VE Day.

Join Holme Valley Orchestra for a special commemorative concert on Saturday 10th May at 2:30pm at St David’s Hall, Holmbridge, as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Step back in time with an afternoon of nostalgic music, featuring wartime favourites made famous by Vera Lynn, as well as film scores by Irving Berlin and Ron Goodwin. We’ll also perform stirring works by Edward Elgar, all in the spirit of honouring this historic occasion. The orchestra will be dressed in 1940s-style costume—and we’d love our audience to do the same! Enjoy the music, soak up the atmosphere, and treat yourself to a cup of tea and a slice of delicious homemade cake. It promises to be a heartwarming and memorable afternoon. We look forward to welcoming you!
