St Nicholas Church Peper Harow
On Thursday 18 December, join Lucy and our festive favourites Richard Sisson (piano) and Joanna David (actor) to lead a musical celebration of this lovely time of year. Completing our cast will be renowned soprano Susan Bullock, enchanting flautist Lisa Friend, engaging tenor Thomas Elwin and - keeping it in the family - the wonderful actor Freddie Fox, son of Joanna David. Expect words and music familiar and unfamiliar, plenty of laughter, much to reflect on and, of course, refreshments for all!
We will stage two concerts, each with exactly the same programme. The 2pm event will be preceded by a Festive Tea. The 7pm concert will be followed by drinks and canapés.
Please see below to book tickets - but please don't leave it too late. Every Christmas show we have staged has sold out and we don't want anyone to be disappointed.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without our daughter of Shackleford, Lucy Parham, who brings her characteristic flair and energy to our celebration, in partnership with...
... the hugely talented Richard Sisson, composer, arranger, performer, raconteur, always to be relied on for wit and charm, particularly when accompanied by our Christmas cast.
Acclaimed actor Freddie Fox, with credits including The Crown, Dr Who and numerous theatrical performances joins Shackleford Concerts for the first time, sharing the stage with his mum Joanna.
It wouldn't be a Christmas Celebration without the marvellous actor Joanna David whose performances have brightened every one of our festive concerts. Be prepared for laughs, poignant moments and one or two surprises.
Acclaimed for her 'pure and clear tone, allied to her discerningly handled virtuosity' Lisa Friend is an Ambassador for the Kings Trust and a performer of international repute. We are delighted she can join us for Christmas!
A performer of widespread acclaim, from opera houses across with world with notable performances from Wagner to the Great American Songbook, soprano Susan Bullock is such a welcome addition to our festive line up.
Solo performer, oratorio specialist, artistic director, respected teacher, marathon runner, football fanatic, the energy of tenor Thomas Elwin knows no bounds. We much look forward to his contribution to our Christmas party.
The church doors will open at 1.30 and a Festive Tea will be served before the performance. Afternoon tickets cost £45 plus a small booking fee.
The church doors will open at 6.15pm. A Festive Reception will be served after the concert at approximately 8.30pm. Evening tickets cost £50 plus a small booking fee.
