"We'll Meet Again Some Sunny Day"
Katherine Jenkins OBE Performs at The Royal Albert Hall
bringing the Country together for VE Day 75
Join this unique event at 18:00 BST on Friday 8 May 2020 as mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins delivers a historic set from an empty Royal Albert Hall. For the first time in its 150-year history, the Hall will play host to a very special concert behind closed doors as we join the nation in marking the 75th anniversary of VE Day, STREAMED TO AUDIENCES FOR FREE VIA YOUTUBE.
Katherine will sing wartime favourites including "The White Cliffs of Dover" and "We’ll Meet Again", the latter performed as a virtual duet with Dame Vera Lynn. The timeless song, featuring the lyrics "I know we’ll meet again some sunny day", epitomised the emotions of the war and brought people hope and a sense of togetherness. Today, they ring true for families around the world separated from loved ones at this time of crisis.
This unique concert, made possible by the Mayor of London, will support the Royal Albert Hall’s fundraising appeal and SSAFA – the Armed Forces charity’s Emergency Response Fund.
This concert will give the nation a moment to pay tribute to the fallen men and women of the Second World War and salute the country’s VE Day Veterans, many of whom are experiencing uncertainty and isolation. It is also our opportunity to thank the Armed Forces who, alongside the NHS and many others, are coming together to serve the country.
