Laura Wright, Collabro, The Military Wives, Sinfonia ViVA, Aled Jones

Donington Park and Music Plus Sport are excited to announce that mezzo soprano Laura Wright, Britain’s Got Talent winners Collabro and the chart-topping Military Wives Choir will be joining already announced Midlands-based orchestra Sinfonia Viva at Donington Live on Sunday 4 September 2016. The event is hosted by Aled Jones.

As well as a day of fantastic entertainment, a magnificent finale fireworks display and family fun, the open-air event will have food for all tastes and budgets available to purchase with a mix of picnics, hot cultural food and street food stalls. A very special guest will be revealed in mid-June to complete the line-up for what is set to be the highlight in the musical and social calendar for the region.

With over a million album sales under her belt, Laura Wright is one of the biggest selling classical artists this decade. Since her debut album The Last Rose went to No.1 in the UK classical charts, Laura has enjoyed many performances at prestigious venues such as Royal Albert Hall, Buckingham Palace and Wembley Stadium. A royal favourite, HM The Queen cited Laura’s Diamond Jubilee song Stronger As One in her Commonwealth Day Message at Westminster Abbey and she was also the first to perform at the opening ceremony for HRH Prince Harry’s Invictus Games.

'I’m thrilled to have been invited to perform at Donington Live, especially as it’s their first event at Donington Park,' said Wright. 'It’ll be the perfect end to the summer and I’m looking forward to watching the other acts and experiencing the day!'
