PLEASE SHARE POST Less than a month to go to our Charity Christmas Concert. Remember to get your ticket quick!! We are so excited that the Holst Singers will be holding a Charity Christmas Concert for Breathing Matters at UCL on 5th December 2014 at 7pm. It’s a PERFECT pre-Christmas evening out in London … and for a worthy cause! The Holst Singers is one of Britain’s foremost choirs. The concert will take place in the new Pavilion in the grounds of University College London, Gower Street, in view of the famous UCL pillars and Christmas tree. The concert will raise money to help fund research being undertaken at UCL Respiratory by Professor Jeremy Brown and his colleagues into the causes and treatment of bronchiectasis. The Holst Singers’ Charity Christmas Concert will include unaccompanied seasonal music by Britten, Warlock, Whitacre and “The Lamb” by the late John Tavener. There will also be readings of Christmas prose and poetry. The BBC describes the Holst Singers as a “leading chorus on the international stage”. In concert, the choir is renowned for dramatic and engaging performances, described by The Times as “interactive concert going at its most revelatory”. Holst Singers performances in 2014 have included a celebration of the music of John Tavener at Christ Church, Spitalfields, and Handel’s Israel in Egypt at St. John’s, Smith Square. With the City of London Sinfonia and the choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, the Holst Singers released a CD in 2012 which included “A Ceremony of Carols” and “St Nicolas”. The choir has toured extensively both in the UK and abroad, with visits to Estonia in March 2009, Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in 2012 (with the Hilliard Ensemble), and Northern Ireland in October 2013. bit.ly/1D4E9tL Tickets cost £35, which includes light refreshments.
