Harrow Choral Society is preparing for its popular Christmas Celebration in the Speech Room of Harrow School on Saturday 16th December. “Our Christmas Celebration is always a special occasion and it will be exciting to perform in the Speech Room after its recent refurbishment,” said HCS Chair, Margaret Davies. ” The combination of the historic setting, Christmas music and readings by Tim Bentinck makes a wonderful start to the festive season.” The varied programme will feature new and traditional music…
