Christmas Concert 2017

Sunday 17th December 2017
New Windmill Hall, Upminster, Essex

More than 180 people from the local community were invited to the New Windmill Hall in Upmister, to enjoy an afternoon of festive music at our fifth annual Christmas Concert.

There were lots of choral classics, many sung in four-part harmony and popular Christmas songs, sung by our talented choir, and a visit from Santa!

As always, the audience enjoyed singing along to some of the most popular numbers, including our unique version of Twelve Day of Christmas, which comes complete with dance moves, and has become a tradition at our Christmas concerts.
