COUNTRY GETS READY TO PARTY AT THE PALACE
Prom at The Palace Party at The Palace
Saturday 1st June 2002 Monday 3rd June 2002
Buckingham Palace, 26th February:
The Queen has today invited people from all over the country to attend two
spectacular free concerts and a champagne picnic in the garden of Buckingham
Palace. Top pop and classical musicians, under the creative guidance of Sir
George Martin, Phil Ramone and Sir Andrew Davis, will perform at these
unprecedented events as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations in June.
The Queen will give the two open-air concerts in the garden of Buckingham
Palace on Saturday 1st June and Monday 3rd June. This is the first time that
a Monarch has invited people from every part of the country to Buckingham
Palace for a concert. The concerts will feature some of the finest pop and
classical musicians and performers.
12,000 people, chosen by ballot, will be invited to each concert. Before the
concerts guests will be able to enjoy a champagne picnic, with a dish
specially created by the Royal Chefs, and other entertainment in the
Buckingham Palace garden.
The two concerts will be produced and broadcast live by BBC television and
radio across the UK and the world and also shown on large screens in and
around the Mall and elsewhere, so that those not lucky enough to receive
invitations can enjoy the entertainment and be part of it. Monday's rock and
pop concert will also be the grand climax to the BBC's UK-wide Music Live
Festival.
The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, under the baton of their Conductor
Laureate Sir Andrew Davis, will form the backbone of the classical concert,
Prom at the Palace, on Saturday 1st June 2002. This two-hour feast of music
will include a rare performance by the great Russian cellist Mstislav
Rostropovich, and internationally acclaimed soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and
top British baritone Sir Thomas Allen will sing popular music from opera and
musical theatre. Opera's hottest duo, Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu,
will make a special appearance, performing solos and a duet.
The repertoire has been specially chosen to reflect the centuries strong
link between music and the Monarchy. From Handel's Zadok the Priest, through
traditional spirituals performed by the London Adventist Chorale, to great
works for full orchestra, there will be something for everyone to enjoy at
this historic and unique event.
Party at the Palace, the rock and pop concert, will take place two days
later on Jubilee Bank Holiday Monday 3rd June in the same setting as the
classical event. Artists performing will represent the past 50 years of
popular music that has made such a huge contribution to cultural life in
this country and abroad. Announced today is a line-up that has sold in
excess of 500 million records world-wide and packed stadiums across the
globe. With further names to be released at a later date, confirmed to
perform (in alphabetical order) are: Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Aretha
Franklin, Elton John, Tom Jones, Atomic Kitten, Sir Paul McCartney, Queen
and special guests, S Club 7, founding member of the Beach Boys Brian Wilson
and Pop Idol winner, Will Young. Presenters announced today are Ben Elton
and Lenry Henry. This show will be under the creative guidance of Beatles
producer, Sir George Martin and respected music producer, Phil Ramone and
the musical directorship of acclaimed musician and composer Michael Kamen.
To give the concert an extra dimension the artists will be performing live
songs made famous by other legendary performers from the past five decades.
Everyone is invited to apply for an invitation - The Golden Ticket - by
telephoning 0900 1952 2002. Calls will cost no more than £1, except from
mobiles when costs may vary. The proceeds (net of related costs), together
with those from the overseas sales of the programmes, will go to The Queen's
Golden Jubilee Charity. Over 3000 telephone lines, an unprecedented number
for a ticketing service, are available for phone applications. Lines will be
open 24 hours a day seven days a week from 8.15am today to midnight on
Sunday 17th March. It is important to stress that invitations will not be
allocated on a first come first served basis. Applications can also be made
online at 
www.bbc.co.uk/queensconcerts
.
To ensure that everyone from around the Country has an equal chance of
attending, invitations will be allocated according to the broad spread of
population across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Channel
Isles and the Isle of Man. Everyone can apply for two tickets to each
concert and successful applicants will be contacted in writing by 19th
April.
Sir Michael Peat, The Keeper Of The Privy Purse, commented:
"It is marvellous that The Queen is giving these concerts to thank everyone
for their support. They should be great fun and enjoyed by everyone at
Buckingham Palace and around the Country, as well as raising money for
charity."
Jenny Abramsky, the BBC's Director of Radio & Music, said:
"We are delighted to be working with Buckingham Palace on these two truly
extraordinary events which will make for fantastic memories for years to
come. Those lucky enough to receive an invitation to the Palace will be
joined by television and radio audiences at home and from around the world
to enjoy these two spectacular musical celebrations."
Sir George Martin commented:
"The artists announced today represent the greatest composers and performers
of their generation and come not only from this country but from our sister
nations in the English speaking world - the Commonwealth and the United
States. Thousands will relish the chance to see them perform together live
on stage at Buckingham Palace. No country has a finer tradition in producing
great talent than ours, and we should be very proud of the enormous
contribution that British artists and composers have made to the world of
entertainment over the last fifty years."

> Si vede che le Atomic kitten hanno avuto qualche flert con i figli di
Carlo
Ecco svelato il mistero ehehe ;)
ê che semplicemente canta chi è stato più pagato dalle case discografiche...
S Club 7 e Atomic Kitten non c'entrano una mazza con la tradizione British
(vedi Elton, Queen o McCartney) - però sono stati spalleggiati dalle case
discografiche
per esserci e farsi pubblicità.
Che mondo!

Le atomic kitten hanno la tradizione di Eternal Flame rifatta rigorosamente
