We are delighted to report the biggest audience and most packed church ever for Chorus of Dissent’s Carols by Candlelight concert. We featured medieval to modern festive music, including a solo from Rachmaniov’s all Night Vigil, Young Dissenters youth choir and star turn juggler Ian Marchant (pictured below)
AND we raised £1,500 towards the St Matthias Church lighting appeal. We thank the community of Stoke Newington, their friends and families for their generous donations.
We’ve tried to sum it all up with just a few of the comments from choir and audience that we’ve received…
“It was wonderful to sing in the concert last night. Thanks Ruth for creating such a powerful and memorable performance.”
‘One of my guests cried through most of the pieces ‘they were so beautiful’. Another thanked Ruth for the best Christmas concert they’ve ever been to.’
“Thank you all! What a triumph! It was the first Dissenters Christmas concert for me and I LOVED it!”
“Best event yet amongst many so memorable. Thanks Dissenters and Merry Christmas, one and all.”
