Evening of yuletide music, melody, and mince pies announced at The Playhouse

Everyone's favourite Christmas classics and nativity verses will light up The Playhouse this Christmas in an evening of Christmas choir music.

Presented by Colmcille ladies choir, a night of festive music and verse will be performed on Sunday December 19 at 8pm.
The evening will mark the second anniversary of the passing of Sister Aloysius McVeigh of the Sisters of Mercy, the much loved iconographer and artist in residence at The Playhouse.
"For 40 years the Colmcille Ladies Choir have brought their exquisite music and talents to this city, from Bishop Daly's Golden Jubilee and their Christmas Spectacular, both of which were held in St. Columb's Hall, to Westminster Cathedral, the Notre Dame in Paris, and Washington Cathedral" Playhouse founding director Pauline Ross said.
"This evening of beautiful music and seasonal readings is about a warm celebration of the season of goodwill, as well as celebrating the life of Sister Aloysius, who touched so many lives here at The Playhouse."
Tickets are £8 and all proceeds will go to Foyle Hospice. Traditional mice pies and other refreshments will be served. For box office or more information contact (028)71268027.
