Following the format of Nine Lessons and Carols, this promises to a beautiful evening of music, carols and reflection that will put you in the right mood as we prepare for Christmas. If you are planning on attending one carol service this year, why not support the parish carol service? And bring a friend! This will be followed by a glass of wine in the Arrupe Hall. All most welcome!

You’re warmly invited to join us for an evening of carols and scripture reflection as we enter the heart of the Advent season. The service is open to all. Please invite family, friends, and colleagues. Mulled wine and mince pies will be served afterwards.

Songs for Ukraine Chorus invites you to a charitable Christmas concert featuring Ukrainian and British music in the heart of Mayfair.

Songs for Ukraine is excited to present its 2025 Christmas concert that will take place on Monday, 15 December 2025, at 7:30 p.m. at the iconic Church of Immaculate Conception in Mayfair, London.

Join us for an evening of traditional Ukrainain Christmas songs - koliadky and shchedrivky - along new music by contemporary Ukrainian composers.

Songs for Ukraine will also perform selected movements from A Ceremony of the Carols by the renown British composer Benjamin Britten, building a musical bridge between Ukraine and Great Britain for this unforgettable evening in the heart of Mayfair.

The concert will also feature special guest performances - stay tuned for more news!

Founded in 2023 in response to the full-scale invasion, Songs for Ukraine brings together singers from across the Ukrainian community and its friends - over half of our singers have been displaced by war.

We sing to give voice to Ukraine and support its fight against darkness. We sing to share the joy of Christmas, uniting the Ukrainian and British music traditions in this unique concert.

A share of proceeds from all our concerts goes to designated charities supporting Ukraine.
