Alexandra Place in North London stands as an enourmous landmark boasting a history of concerts and events to match its huge structure. Overture: Alexandra Palace was commissioned as part of the centenary celebrations for the Palace. First heard in the great hall played by the Royal Marines Massed Bands, the grandeur of the music was entirely in keeping with the building's lofty architechture.
