Free concert by the British Army's Army Engagement Ensemble, part of the Beat of the Nation day of performances at The Fire Station.
Beat of the Nation comes to The Fire Station on Wednesday 25 November, with the British Army's Army Engagement Ensemble taking the stage. It's an evening concert that celebrates the musical heritage, traditions and contemporary excellence of the British Army's musicians, bringing together world-class musicianship and the precision, pageantry and professionalism of Army music.
The concert is just one part of a full day of performances at The Fire Station. During the day, there's Operation CyberBeat, an immersive musical adventure where the audience solves puzzles and uses VR to help restore power to the venue. There's also a schools experience, where young people meet Army personnel, try on ceremonial uniforms and march alongside military musicians.

Major Adrian Beckett, one of the organisers, says the free performances showcase the Army's outstanding musical talent and give young people a chance to engage with technology, creativity and teamwork. The evening concert is the main feature of the day, so if you're only coming for the music, that's the one to keep in mind. Entry is free, and advance booking is recommended through The Fire Station box office.
