England kann nicht nur stolz auf seine Chortradition sein, sondern auch eine ebenso lebendige wie hochkarätige Blasorchestertradition vorweisen. Diese wird unter anderem in den oft exzellenten Militärkapellen gepflegt, wobei die Central Band of the Royal Air Force eine absolute Spitzenstellung einnimmt. Das Ensemble stellt hier einige Klassiker der britischen Blasorchestermusik von Holst bis Langford vor.
