An Evening of Christmas Music in the City of London
The historic Merchant Taylors' Hall, in the heart of the City of London, was the splendid setting for a Christmas Concert on 4 December, presented by the Swiss Global Artistic Foundation and sponsored by Investec Private Bank. Following a cocktail reception, the capacity audience of invited friends of the Foundation and guests of the Bank enjoyed a memorable candlelit concert of Christmas music by Tenebrae--a professional choir founded and directed by Nigel Short--interspersed with harp solos by Sally Pryce.
