Step into the warmth of candlelight this festive season with the Royal Commonwealth Society’s Christmas Concert - a magical evening of classical music, readings, and celebration in one of London’s most beautiful churches, St James’s Piccadilly. 

Hosted by the incomparable Gyles Brandreth, the concert brings together world-class performers from across the Commonwealth, including Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja and his daughter Clara Calleja, Samoan soprano Aivale Cole, violinist Braimah Kanneh-Mason and pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, alongside Canadian pianist Spencer Klymyshyn and British-Indian composer Rekesh Chauhan. 

An enchanting evening of classical music and festive warmth, featuring Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Deep River, Panis Angelicus, and Ding Dong Merrily on High, all illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. The evening will also feature festive readings by Geri Halliwell-Horner and Ayesha Dharker, adding warmth and reflection to this celebration of Commonwealth creativity and unity.  

Enjoy a complimentary festive drink as you arrive, and share in the spirit of giving - with proceeds supporting the Royal Commonwealth Society’s charitable work on the environment, education, and equality across the Commonwealth’s 56 nations.
