War Horse: Prom 22 commemorates the start of the First World War
Sunday 3rd August saw the Proms Military Wives Choir made up of ladies from more than 40 of the choirs in our network and conducted by Gareth Malone, take to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall for the War Horse Prom. This unique prom, inspired by the National Theatre’s play, War Horse, based on Michael Morpurgo’s novel, marked the eve of the centenary of the outbreak of WW1.
Beverly, of the Prom Military Wives Choir said, “I feel so immensely proud to have been a part of this amazing performance especially on the eve of the centenary of WW1. I have learnt so much and met so many lovely people. Taking part in the Proms was truly the most amazing thing I have ever done. A lifetime of memories!”
The Prom will be screened on BBC TV this autumn.
