Gates open 6pm, Performance 7-9.30pm: Bring your camping chairs and picnic hampers to The Vyne’s north lawn and soak up the music and atmosphere at The Vyne.
Join us on the Summer Solstice as we celebrate two remarkable milestones: Basingstoke Symphony Orchestra’s 95th season and the 250th birthday of Jane Austen. Featuring a special performance of Carl Davis’ Theme from Pride and Prejudice, we’ll be honouring the beloved novelist’s deep connection to the area.
Set against the stunning backdrop of The Vyne, a historic Tudor house surrounded by 1,500 acres of lush gardens and woodlands, this event offers the perfect blend of music, history and natural beauty. In celebration of this milestone, The Vyne is hosting the 95th anniversary concert for free, with all proceeds going towards Basingstoke Symphony Orchestra.
The programme includes:
Mendelssohn | Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture
Dvořák | Slavonic Dance in G Minor
Holst | Jupiter from The Planets
Bizet | Pieces from L’Arlesienne Suite no. 2
Carl Davis | Theme from Pride & Prejudice
Tchaikovsky | Pieces from Swan Lake Ballet Suite
Elgar | Pomp & Circumstance March no. 4
There's a ten-minute walk between the carpark and the north lawn so make sure you can comfortably carry all your belongings. Assistance dogs only. There will be an interval at 7.45pm.
