FEATURING
Montserrat

Jubilee Favourites, The Rat Pack!, Michael Ball, The Moscow

The 2002 Music On a Summer Evening season will push out the
boundaries of classic outdoor summer evening concerts, to
bring to its regular audiences a fantastic choice of entertainment
which will also entice new fans to Kenwood House in Hampstead,
Marble Hill House Twickenham and Audley End in Essex.
Kenwood's
open air lakeside concert season celebrates its 51st anniversary
this year. To celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee, the opening
night on July 6th is an evening of Jubilee favourites, in
association with The Radio Times.
During
the season 14 year old gifted violinist Chloé makes
her Kenwood debut; the renowned Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra
perform their only other UK summer concert outside the Edinburgh
Festival: Björn Again bring Abba to Kenwood and at Audley
End, Ex Bond Girl, Honor Blackman hosts an evening with James
Bond Music; Paco Peña returns by popular demand and
the highlight of the Kenwood season is an evening with the
Opera star Montserrat Caballé (buy your tickets early),
and of course the traditional evenings of Four Seasons &
Fireworks and the Last Night of the Kenwood Proms.
Marble
Hill House in Twickenham and Audley End House near Saffron
Walden, Essex, share some of the same billing, but also feature
specially selected events. Exclusive to Marble Hill, where
the season opens on August 17th with Michael Ball, who is
taking a night out from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, an evening
of Jazz Classics, Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music and 'Last Night'
spectacular with fireworks on August 24th.
Audley
End in Saffron Walden opens on July 27th with Jools Holland
& his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra - who make their English
Heritage and Audley End debut, then the season continues with
Music for the Royal Fireworks, Björn Again, Jazz Classics
and the Last Night of the Audley End Proms.
Brought
to you by English Heritage in association with IMG, the 2002
season promises to be an outstanding programme of summer picnic
concerts. The programme combines the traditional favourites
