NEW CONCERT ANNOUNCED – 20th July at 6.30pm

Following the second concert of our Festival of Summer Music for 2025 on Sunday 6th July, our next concert will be held on Sunday 20th July at 6.30pm. Details can be seen here.

This is the third in a series of FOUR concerts being organised by local renowned opera singer Ilona Domnich, and hosted by Monken Hadley Common Trust on the shores of Jack’s Lake. It follows our first two, highly successful concerts on 14th June and 6th July. The remaining two concerts will be held on Sunday 20th July (6.30pm) and Sunday 3rd August (6.30pm).

Entry to the concerts is free, but we will collect cash/card donations, and suggest a minimum of £10 per adult, to support preservation of the Common and a bursary for a young singer – proceeds of the concerts are shared equally between the Trust (to fund our work to maintain the Common), and World Heart Beat Music Academy (registered charity no 1139579) to establish a music bursary for young musicians (the Marcia Elton Vocal Bursary Programme). Details of the previous recipient of the Bursary are available here.

Our heartfelt thanks to the various benefactors whose generosity has made this festival possible. Details of these sponsors are included on the concert posters. We are also seeking further corporate, charitable and individual sponsors – please follow this link to find out more (sponsorship options)

IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER, if we think Hadley Common will be too wet, the concert on Sunday 20th July will be held at St John the Baptist Church (Barnet Church), on Wood St in High Barnet. Contingency location for the other concerts will also be St John the Baptist Church. We’ve been very lucky for the last few years, but please watch this space for more details in the days before each concert.
