Stars add to festivities at 30th carol concert
9 December 2010
Our 30th annual Christmas Carol
Concert took place yesterday evening with over 800 guests
joining us for a special celebration of the festive season.
Held at the
stunning Central Hall Westminster in London,
some of the highlights included a breathtaking solo violin
performance of Czardas from Matthew Jones.
A wonderful evening
Hosted by Roger Lloyd Pack (The Old Guys,
The Vicar of
Dibley), the concert included a wonderful performance from
the Wessex Male Choir whose
pieces included 'White Christmas', 'We Three Kings' and 'Rockin'
Around the Christmas Tree'.
Roger Lloyd Pack read Alfred, Lord Tennyson's 'Ring out, wild
bells' to a captivated audience and BBC News presenter Jane Hill
read the poem 'Christmas' by John Betjeman.
Whilst the Wessex Male Choir performed 'It's the Most Wonderful
Time of the Year', guests enjoyed an indoor snowball fight (real
snow was not used!).
I would like to say a huge thank you to all of those who attended last night’s concert
Clare Chater, Events Manager
The concert closed with everybody singing 'O Come, All Ye
Faithful', and was followed by a reception with mince pies and
mulled wine being served to our guests.
Big thank you
Clare Chater, Events Manager, said:
"I would like to say a huge thank you to all of those who
