Performance NotesOn 8 May 1945 celebrations began around the world on what became VE Day - Victory in Europe Day. 70 years later the end of war in Europe is marked with a spectacular evening of music performed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Classic FM presenters John Suchet, Myleene Klass and special guests reflect on a day that changed the world. Music will include Edward Elgar's Nimrod, William Walton's Spitfire Prelude and Fugue, Eric Coates' Dambusters March and Gustav Holst's Jupiter.
