The Solving Kids’ Cancer UK Christmas Carol Concert 2023 – 6.30pm
A highlight in the Solving Kids’ Cancer UK calendar
Join us on Tuesday 5 December at Holy Trinity Sloane Square in London for our annual Christmas Carol Concert.
This event is an evening of hope and celebration, and always a night to remember. We will have a range of performers, including the renowned London Show Choir and the cast and crew of EastEnders, as well as festive readings by children we support. Each year we also present our very special Hero Awards, where families we support nominate those in the community who have made a real difference. There is plenty of Christmas cheer too, including our luxury raffle, complimentary mince pies and mulled wine, and the opportunity to sing your heart out to your favourite carols!
Upcoming Events
Battersea Choral Society – Mendelssohn Hymn of Praise – 7:30pm
Hymn of Praise (Lobgesang, Op. 52) is a large-scale choral symphony composed in 1840 by Mendelssohn to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg. It is one of Mendelssohn’s most ambitious choral works which helped to revive interest in large, sacred choral music in the 19th century. Interestingly, he was inspired partly by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Fit for midsummer, this piece is a bright, triumphant and deeply spiritual choral work.
