What a wonderful evening! And a wonderful world! One of the songs in one of the choral mash ups alongside *I Love You*. Where to start in describing this joyous event? The mash up of songs was delightful – *First Noel* alongside Pachelbel’s *Canon*, and pop and soul songs *Stand By Me* and *Electric Dreams* jostling with Christmas carols.

The **Rainbow Chorus**, celebrating 25 years of glorious singing, knows how to please a crowd, and led by their effervescent, musical director **Aneesa Chaudhry**, the tone was casual and participative. Everyone joined in!

There were stand out numbers: *Africa* and *Bridge Over Troubled Water*, leading to **Rag ‘n’ Bone Man**’s *Human*. Plus the Italian *Con te Partirò* *(Time to Say Goodbye)* rose emotionally in the church setting. Many of the songs had stand out soloists, and the 60 strong choir blended beautifully.

**St George’s Church** was packed with over 400 tickets sold and the atmosphere couldn’t have been more Christmassy! Mulled wine, mince pies, twinkly lights, a light show, Christmas jumpers – it would have been weird not to have joined in singing, *Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree*.

The applause was rapturous and the encore well deserved. A wonderfully feelgood concert on a chilly night. Well done to the chair **Katy Jenner**, Aneesa and all who sang in the Rainbow Chorus.

Aneesa explained that people can join the committed choir, either weekly or more casually, monthly. [CLICK HERE](http://www.rainbowchorus.org.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) to find out more. Their slogan ***Strength in Harmony*** is also very apt!
