Music comes to Marylebone thanks to Marylebone Square
World-class musicians from around the globe will gather in Marylebone this summer, for a community music festival sponsored by Concord London the local developers of the magnificent Marylebone Square and W1 Place developments both in Marylebone. Both Marylebone Square and W1 Place are exciting mixed use regeneration schemes that will deliver a new community space, shops, restaurants and homes, which will compliment the rich history of our fantastic community.
All musical tastes will be catered for, with performers including Prog Rock Legend Rick Wakeman, Sue Perkins, Anna Richardson, Judith Owen, world class Chamber Musicians, The Royal Academy of Music String Quartets and The Royal British Legion Band. We invite all to attend, and enjoy the food, drink and other entertainment on offer.
Events will be held across a week in June at some of Marylebone’s most prestigious and prominent locations, including Manchester Square, Wigmore Hall, the Wallace Collection and the Rudolf Steiner House Theatre.
Chris Murray, Managing Director of Concord London, said:
