The music you hear is a clip of Helena singing is 'Atkinson's Ave Maria'

With poems, readings and classical songs by British composers, poets and authors, we bring you an alternative to traditional hymns and carols, which explore our heritage of classical twentieth century song. It provides an ideal lunchtime recital or as an evening's entertainment may be combined with a showcase for the musical talent of local young performers. We gratefully acknowledge the support we have received from The Ralph Vaughan Williams Society, the Ivor Gurney Society and The Rawsthorne Trust.

"We wish to reflect the inspiration that Christmas has brought to British poets, writers and composers. This dark time of year can be brightened with uplifting entertainment that avoids the tinsel and commercial glitter and captures the true spirit of goodwill".
