Battersea Choral Society Christmas Concert with Carols for All – 7:30pm
We are delighted to invite you to our Carol Concert at Holy Trinity Sloane Square.
Along with our favourite Christmas carols and festive readings there will be joyful music including Gerald Finzi In Terra Pax and Thomas Hewitt-Jones The Shepherds’ Tale. BCS commissioned the latter in 2018 to mark our 20th anniversary. We are delighted to sing it again this year whilst we celebrate 25 years of the choir’s existence.
Our soloists for the evening will be: Fflur Wyn, soprano and Michael Lafferty, baritone. They will join in some of the carols and treat us to a couple of traditional delights.
This year, music4children will benefit from the retiring collection.
The charity, music4children, deliver a wide range of projects in the UK and in Nepal: These projects include Arts, Music, Sports and activities that grab the imagination and empower young people to be the best versions of themselves.

Join The London Chorus for a rare performance of Vaughan Williams Five Tudor Portraits, 7.30pm 12 March 2026 at Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square.
The London Chorus presents a thrilling programme of the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, one of the greatest of all British composers and a Chelsea resident for 24 years. His Five Tudor Portraits, masterful settings of the poems of John Skelton, priest and tutor to Henry VIII, are at times bawdy, poignant and witty, and deserve to be heard far more often.
We also hear his popular Five Mystical Songs, settings of the 17th-century poet and priest George Herbert, and his Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1, which conjures up an eloquent aural portrait of the Norfolk landscape and its people through five locally-sourced folk songs.
