| Mon Apr 20th | RUSSIAN CLASSICS AT THE ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL (Evening Performance) Pablo Heras-Casado presents three vivid Russian works with the Philharmonia Orchestra joined by one of today’s most exciting young pianists, Daniel Kharitonov. He will be playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No 1 which was the piece that first brought him to the attention of a worldwide public when he played it in the 2015 Tchaikovsky Piano Competition aged just 16. The orchestra will also play Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Contact Sandra Clark on sandrau3a@hotmail.com or book at the monthly meeting. |
| Wed May 20th | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE BACKSTAGE TOUR – COVENT GARDEN Wednesday 20th May 2020 – leave Radlett 9.45am - £28 This Backstage Tour includes an introduction to the colourful history of the theatre, an insight into the redevelopment of the Royal Opera House and a look at aspects of current productions.

| Sat Jun 6th | TROOPING THE COLOUR REHEARSAL, – REVIEWED BY HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES - HORSEGUARDS PARADE Saturday 6th June 2020 NO COACH - £10 The custom of Trooping the Colour dates back to the time of Charles II in the 17th Century when the Colours of a regiment were used as a rallying point in battle and were therefore trooped in front of the soldiers every day to make sure that every man could recognise those of his own regiment. In London, the Foot Guards used to do this as part of their daily Guard Mounting on Horse Guards and the ceremonial of the modern Trooping the Colour parade is along similar lines. This rehearsal the week before the actual ceremony on the Queen’s birthday will be reviewed by HRH The Prince of Wales. As there will be very tight security we are not offering a coach for this visit and you will be required to make your own way there and be responsible for arriving on time. You will be given your own ticket shortly after payment together with full instructions for the day including the correct entrance to use. Contact Joan Altman on 01923 404920 joanu3a@virginmedia.com or book at the monthly meeting. |
| Thu Jun 11th | A TOUR OF HIGHGATE CEMETERY Thursday 11th June 2020 – leave Radlett 11.30am - £22 We will have a guided tour of the West Cemetery, which is home to the most impressive architectural features of Highgate Cemetery — the Chapel, Colonnade, Egyptian Avenue, Circle of Lebanon, Terrace Catacombs and the mausoleum of Julius Beer. Following this you will be able to explore the East Cemetery, where you will find the imposing mausoleum of Karl Marx. Please note that this is a very hilly outing with uneven surfaces, so please wear appropriate footwear. Also, the café is a long walk from the cemetery entrance so we would recommend bringing sandwiches to eat in the coach or in the delightful parkland. Contact Corinne Mallach on 020 8905 1409 corinneu3a@gmail.com or book at the monthly meeting. |

With the hope of beautiful weather, this promises to be a great day out for us. Contact Valerie Gold on 07831 562362 valeriegoldu3a@gmail.com or book at the monthly meeting. |
