Christmas Concert

Sunday, 8 December in the Holland Park Orangery, 7.00pm.

Bookings are already coming in, so don’t delay and make sure you get your tickets for our very special Christmas Concert. 

Once again, we will be entertained by Douglas Somers-Lee and his Ariel Consort of London. Douglas has sung in The Friends’ Christmas concert for many years, he knows just what we like and is busy working on an exciting programme for our very special end of year event. There will be many familiar faces in the choir. We can be sure of joyous voices ringing out in the beautiful Orangery, readings to interest and amuse you, and some carols for all to sing.

We think our Christmas Concert is different to the others and of course we think it is better. It seems you do too, as it is always so popular. If you haven’t been to this event for a while, or indeed if you are a regular, we can promise you a highly enjoyable evening.  Do book your tickets, now! 

After the concert, we will be treated to tasty canapés and a glass or two of wine. Tickets, at £27, can be ordered online HERE.

Please note that this year’s concert starts at 7.00pm, earlier than in previous years.
