On Wednesday 7th December, 1-2pm, we will be holding a Christmas service of lessons and carols with music from the High Renaissance, with the English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble and the Choir of Holy Sepulchre London. Music will include Hassler’s joyful ten-part Hodie Christus Natus Est, Praetorius’s eight-part setting of Angelus ad Pastores, and other music by Gabrieli, Scheidt and Praetorius.
Free to attend, all are welcome, bring colleagues, friends and family along too!
Mulled wine and mince pies will be served following the service.

Piano Replacement Fund
We are looking to replace our piano to a new Steinway Grand piano and are currently fundraising to be made available to hire for public concerts to help the wellbeing of nearby workers and musicians. Half of the donations received for Christmas will go towards replacing our piano.
