At Christmas, our songs focus on the birth of a child and hope for the world. Enjoy our virtual concert, and what better time to donate to GOSH, who help and give hope to so many children and their families.

Great Ormond Street Hospital and raising money for similar children's charities has a particular significance to our ensemble; also, one of our guest singers was a nurse there at the beginning of her career and has very fond memories of caring for the children.  We are particularly pleased to support GOSH.
