Christmas Carol Concert 2009


Elin Manahan Thomas

On Wednesday 9 December, 800 guests joined us for a wonderful celebration of the festive season, in the presence of HRH The Duchess of Gloucester GCVO.

 

The evening was hosted by BBC News Presenter Jane Hill and featured performances from the Wessex Male Choir, Crystal Palace Band and the inspirational Sing for Joy, a choir for people with Parkinson's and other conditions.

 

Richard Briers, Bill Neely and Roddy Lee entertained us with readings and world-class soprano Elin Manahan Thomas gave a spellbinding performance.

 

The concert was followed by a mulled wine and mince pie reception and the chance to meet some of our readers and performers.
