RAF BAND: The Band of the Royal Air Force College Cranwell and Royal Air Force Swing Wing will perform their first ever combined concert.
"Consequently, in this special Diamond Jubilee and Olympic year, we will be celebrating in traditional Royal Air Force style with some superb musical arrangements and entertainment for all ages."
Highlights of the programme include Matthew Walker singing the music of Matt Monro, along with some stunning band arrangements from the film scores of Ennio Morricone. The concert will also feature the first performance of "Journey Through Europe", which is a new musical arrangement taking the audience on a wonderfully linked musical journey across the continent.
