Spectacular Scarlet and Gold returns to Cadogan Hall

For the first time since the start of the pandemic, the Massed Bands of the Household Division have returned to the stage for two nights of magnificent military music at the Scarlet and Gold Concert Series.

Audiences were treated to both contemporary and ceremonial pieces from some of the Army’s finest musicians in the grandeur of Cadogan Hall for the first time since November 2019.

The Scarlet and Gold Concert Series is named after the bright red tunics and gold detailing of the uniforms worn by those in the Household Division.

The first concert centred on the theme of Planet Earth, with the music selected to take the audience on a journey around the world and then up into space with pieces performed from Riverdance, John Barry’s Out of Africa and even Star Wars!

The second concert was dedicated to some of the most celebrated State Ceremonial music of all time including anthems, such as Pomp and Circumstance and The Dambusters March.
