Star in the Sky Triumph

The Reverend Ben Lovell, who conducted the wonderfully upbeat celebration of the festive season at St Mary’s Church in Hampton, encouraged the congregation to share their delight, agreeing it was impossible not to clap after such a barn-storming performance.

Pupils, parents and alumnae of all ages came together to enjoy heart lifting carols and the story of the Nativity at the beautiful riverside church with its striking Gothic architecture, which hosted the event for the first time.

St Luke tells the birth of Jesus was read on behalf of the alumnae community by Rebecca Taylor, Class of 1992, who is also Director of Outreach and Co-curricular at LEH.  Other readings were given by Chair of the Governors, David King, Head Mistress, Rowena Cole and pupils representing every year in the School.

An exceptionally high standard of music, as ever, was performed by the Holles Singers, Senior Choir, Chamber Choir, Cantata and the Minchkins, with three original compositions by our Composer in Residence Brendan Ashe.

Our thanks to everyone who attended or took part, and of course, to our amazing Director of Music Miranda Ashe, who led the whole event with her usual flawless finesse.
