THE final event of Irish Heritage’s 50th anniversary year took place at St George's Church in Hanover Square, London.
The beautiful venue is often referred to as Handel’s Church, so it was the perfect setting for the annual Christmas by Candlelight concert, with performances from the Messiah featuring soprano Laura Aherne, mezzo-soprano Anna-Helena Maclachlan, tenor Stephen Walker and bass Fionn Ó hAlmhain.

Irish Heritage is a registered charity, established in London in 1974, whose objective is to advance public education and appreciation of the arts, particularly those of Irish and Anglo-Irish music, arts, literature and drama to the benefit of the community.
