Programme Note
Come along to St John the Evangelist, Upper Norwood, where the orchestra will be kicking off the countdown to Christmas with a concert your whole family will enjoy. They’ll be playing some of your best-loved Christmas music and will be joined on stage by the Central Band of The Royal British Legion and local choirs and schools for a programme that will really get you in the mood for the festive season, as will the mulled wine and seasonal treats. Bring along friends and family, your Santa hats, and plenty of festive cheer!
This concert is being held in aid of the Croydon Refugee Day Centre, a friendly safe meeting place that offers practical assistance for asylum seekers and refugees. A newly commissioned piece ‘Yesterday, like you and me’, based on a moving poem about the refugee crisis, with music by local composer David Braid, will be premièred in the concert, sung by pupils from Rockmount School in Upper Norwood.
