The concert this evening at St. John's Holland Road was part of the London Sangerstevne, with choirs performing prior to the main all day event tomorrow at St. Matthew's Ealing Common.
The concert, like all the Sangerstevne events, was free, but with an enthusiastic appeal by Philip Norman to give generously to the retiring collection which would go to the church. And he pointed out, as he always does, that the Church of England, unlike many Continental churches, does not receive ANYTHING AT ALL from the Government, and so needs to raise every penny it costs to get it going. Notes and cheques acceptable!
Three choirs were singing - Kensington and Victoria Park Singers from London, Coro Montalbo from Italy and Cor Merched Cwm Llynfi from - guess where? - Wales. All were very good. The Italian choir had to use a translator to explain their pieces, and kept moving round taking photos. Altogether a lovely evening.
