We are delighted to return once again to this cherished annual service, featuring organist Siobhán Kilkelly and the Pepper Canister Brass Quintet.

This Service of Nine Lessons and Carols is a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season, complete with mince pies and mulled wine afterwards, generously supplied by the Merrion Hotel.

Held in aid of the Black Santa Appeal supporting local charities working with those in need, particularly the homeless.

Carols by Candlelight from St. Stephen’s Church (The Pepper Canister), Mount St. Crescent, Dublin 2.

Featuring Rev’d Yvonne Ginnelly, organists Siobhán Kilkelly & Simon Stroughair, Cuore directed by Amy Ryan, and the Pepper Canister Brass Quintet.

This service was held in aid of local charities working with those in need, particularly the homeless.

We loved being back on the main stage in the National Concert Hall as part of this sold out charity concert organised by our alto, Davina Baker, in memory of her mother Monica.

A diverse and vibrant programme, from pop favorites by Coldplay to classical masterpieces by Bach, Kreisler, and Ysaye. Cuore’s contribution included uplifting music by Will Todd, William Byrd, and Javier Busto.

We were honoured to contribute to such a meaningful evening which raised over €18,000 for Our Lady’s Hospice in Blackrock. It was a reminder of the power of music to bring us together for good.
