Harmony Belles raises £3,000 for charity at their ‘Christmas in Harmony’ Concert on Saturday 7th of December 2024

On a very stormy evening, the beautiful All Saints Church in Marlow, Buckinghamshire was once again the setting for the Harmony Belles’ Christmas concert on Saturday the 7^th of December 2024.

‍

The male barbershop group, the Thames Valley Chorus, joined us once again as we performed to over 300 people raising money for two wonderful charities, The Ark Café Community Coffee Shop in Marlow and Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

‍

Over the last couple of years, our choir has grown in size and in the glittery Christmas colours of red, green and gold, we sang our way through some wonderful Christmas songs and carols. One of the highlights for the choir was singing a beautiful arrangement of ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’ and a very jazzy and wordy ‘We Wish you the Merriest’.

‍

As our supporters will know, Harmony Belles is foremost about singing together for joy but running a very close second is performing in concerts and raising money for our chosen charities. If you want to know more about the charities do, do take a look at their websites or visit Our Why page
