Packed programme of summer concerts announced by music festival organisers for Barnet orchestras and bands 

Barnet’s music lovers are in for a feast of summer events with organisers announcing programmes for concerts right through to August including an annual highlight of four evening performances in the woods beside Jack’s Lake at Monken Hadley Common.

Since they were launched six years ago, there has been ever growing support for these open-air musical evenings which are held in a woodland glade and are organised by New Barnet opera singer Ilona Domnich.

As a prelude to the summer programme, there is a fund-raising concert for the Monken Hadley Common Trust at the Barnet parish church of St John the Baptist on Saturday 11 April (doors open 6pm)

The programme will include Vivaldi Four Seasons (Ilona Domnich, soprano; Charles Mutter, violinist; and Neil Varley, accordionist).

The summer concerts at Jack’s Lake are May 16 or 17; June 13 or 14; July 11 or 12; August 8 or 9.

High Barnet Chamber Music Festival is about to announce dates and venues for this summer’s four concerts, which will be held from June 6 to 28, and will include a family concert backed by Arts Council England.

This will be the chamber festival’s sixth season which has been expanded to include master classes and performances in primary and secondary schools.

North London’s concert band – Da Capo Concert Band – will be holding its summer concert at the Barnet parish church on Saturday 27 June.
