The Concert

An Evening of Wartime Songs with Lili Redman

 

Step back in time with the enchanting Lili, as she transports you to an era of resilience, romance, and hope through the timeless melodies of wartime Britain. Renowned for her captivating voice and vintage glamour, Lili presents a spellbinding evening of songs that echoed across the airwaves and through the music halls during some of the most challenging times in history. With her signature blend of charm, exceptional knowledge and heart wrenching poignancy, Lili breathes new life into tunes, both classic and rare, that provided solace and inspiration to a nation at war. From the sentimental strains of Vera Lynn, the laugh out loud tunes of Gracie Fields to the rousing choruses of patriotic anthems, each song is a poignant reminder of the power of music to uplift the human spirit.

 

 
Accompanied by an exceptionally talented pianist, Tom Millar, Lili’s performance is more than just a concert—it’s a journey through the emotional landscape of a bygone era. With anecdotes and stories that illuminate the historical context of each piece, this evening promises to be both a musical celebration and a heartfelt tribute to the endurance and bravery of those who lived through wartime and those whose sacrifice we still remember today. Join us for an unforgettable night of nostalgia, where the past meets the present, and the voices of yesterday resonate with the audiences of today. Let Lili Redman serenade you with the songs that helped shape a generation, echoed down the years, to be shared in this exquisite evening of remembrance and celebration.
