Tracks from the likes of The Beatles, Oasis and Radiohead will be re-worked into orchestral arrangements by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus at a weekend-long concert to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Abbey Road studios.

To be held over two days at West London’s Chiswick House and Gardens, The Symphony In The Park’s first night, on August 20th, will host the symphonic versions of a selection of rock and pop classics, while the second night, August 21st, will see various film scores recorded at Abbey Road being performed live in all their epic glory.

Speaking of Abbey Road’s 80th year, one of the studio’s most famous exponents, Sir Paul McCartney, has spoken of his Abbey Road memories and the Symphony At The Park concerts.

“I have so many special memories from there and it’s still such a great studio today. The Symphony At The Park concerts are a great way to celebrate a truly iconic symbol of British music,” he said. “I hope everyone has a fabulous time there and I wish Abbey Road all the best for another 80 rocking years.”

Tickets are on general sale now.
