Afasic Christmas Concert
Our next Christmas Concert is on the evening of Thursday 9th December 2027 at St Andrew, Holborn in London. As always, there will be carols, readings, music and laughter throughout the evening – oh and FREE wine & mince pies!
Further details will follow in the Spring of 2027
In the meantime, you can read the report on the Afasic Christmas Concert 2025 below:
Afasic held a very special Christmas Concert on the 11th December 2025 that helped all those attending to get into the festive spirit early.
Our President, Sir Derek Jacobi, read an excerpt from ‘A Christmas Carol’ and, not to be outdone, two pupils from Moor House School & College, Freya Harrison and Semi Owojaiye did a great job with their readings.
Music for the evening was provided by the Ashtead Singers, conducted by Dr Andrew Storey, along with the brilliant Mark Inscoe, who performed 2 songs accompanied by Stuart Hutchinson on piano. We were also very pleased to have the signing choir from Moor House School & College taking part and they were great, as always! Our thanks also goes to the organist for the evening Michael Hodges.
The evening was led by four adults who benefited from the work of Afasic when they were younger, Damian Quinn, Kelly White, Justin Butcher, and Robyn Lascelles – and what a brilliant job they did! Our Vice President Terry Chimes introduced their potential successors, our Young Ambassadors, and they did a great job in introducing a carol. There was lots of laughter and applause throughout the night with tremendous performances by everyone involved.
We are very grateful to all the team at St Andrew for hosting our concert once more, all our volunteers on the night and especially our volunteer photographer Greg Keeling. Everyone seemed to have a very enjoyable time and contributed generously to the retiring collection that was done by our young ambassadors Ed, Amelia, and Jacob. Here’s to the next one on the 9th December 2027! (book the date in your diary now!)
