    Classical stars are set to perform at Harewood House this September when live music returns after a year of lockdowns.

    The Picnic Proms will feature top names such as Alfie Boe, Sir Willard White, Aled Jones and The Three Tenors and Queen Symphonic.

    A series of concerts will be held over three days from Friday, September 3, in the picturesque grounds of Harewood House, which is between Harrogate and Leeds.

    A veteran of the London stage and Broadway, Alfie Boe will open the event before Aled Jones hosts the second night with special guests Sir Willard White, Sophie Evans, Peyee Chen and Tenors Unlimited.

    The Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra, a professional orchestra specifically created to support freelance musicians from Yorkshire who have been hit hardest by the pandemic, will also join them on stage.

    Finally, The Queen Symphonic will close the proms playing a series of greatest hits from rock band Queen blended with symphonic arrangements.

    Firework displays will also take place on the Saturday and Sunday nights.

    Ben Crick, conductor for Vivo Entertainment and the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra, said: 

    “We’re sure event-goers can’t wait to enjoy live music once again and it’s our pleasure to present this spectacular series of outdoor events. Harewood House is the perfect setting for such prestigious artists and legendary musicians to showcase their talents. 
    “We’re sure Picnic Proms will be a truly magnificent series of events for everyone involved, including our wonderful audiences.”


    The event has been created and designed to ensure potential government restrictions, including social distancing and household bubbles, can be adhered to if required. 

    Additional safety measures such as on-site hand sanitising stations and queuing systems will also be in place.

    Tickets are priced at £35 and will go on sale from Friday at 9am at the Vivo Entertainment website.
