The Royal Commonwealth Society warmly invites you to join us as our guest for a festive evening of music, friendship and celebration at St George's Hanover Square. Our second annual Christmas Concert will bring together supporters, partners and friends from across the Commonwealth to celebrate the close of 2026 through an uplifting programme of music and reflection. Inspired by this year’s theme of collaboration, mutual respect and friendship, the programme will feature outstanding musical performances, including recognised guest artists and a vibrant gospel choir, interwoven with reflections from young people whose lives have been shaped by the Society’s programmes.
Concert and Reception Hosted by the incomparable Gyles Brandreth, the concert brings together world-class performers with links across the Commonwealth, including Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja, violinist Braimah Kanneh-Mason and pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, alongside the London Community Gospel Choir and Canadian pianist Spencer Klymyshyn. Further headline performers will be announced shortly.
The evening will also feature festive readings by Royal Commonwealth Society Ambassador Geri Halliwell-Horner and music artist, and advocate, DJ Cuppy, adding warmth and reflection to this celebration of Commonwealth creativity and unity.
Following the concert, guests are invited to join us for a Champagne reception (inclusive), bringing the celebratory evening to a close.
