Petros Singers' Christmas concert this year celebrates the music of composers who have lived and worked in Hammersmith and the surrounding area. Featuring a wide range of seasonal music, from Holst, Howells and Gardner – who served consecutively as Director of Music at St Paul’s Girls’ School from 1905 to 1975 – to contemporary composers, Cecilia McDowell and Kerensa Briggs.
Join us for candlelight, mulled wine, mince pies and audience carols, and get the festive season off to a great start!
