Glenn Miller: the role of music in WWII and his disappearance in 1944

Monday, 12 May 10.30am to 11.30am at Bracknell Library

Renowned bandleader Glenn Miller arrived in Britain shortly after the D-Day landings, bringing with him the uplifting sounds of big band music that helped raise morale across wartime Europe. Just months later, his plane vanished over the English Channel, sparking decades of speculation.

Join musician Ray Smith for a compelling talk exploring how Miller’s music became a powerful force during the war — and uncover a fascinating connection between his disappearance and the D-Day mission.

As we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we come together to honour the bravery, service, and sacrifice of all who fought for freedom.
