St Catherine's restoration - music to my ears

.
Just meters from the ruins of the Royal Opera House lies a church, the facade of which was splendidly restored 6 years ago. For some time, St Catherine's has been the venue for a serious of lunchtime concerts. The concerts have been an excellent way of attracting sponsorship for the restoration of the church as well as to also directly contribute through ticket sales towards the same end. It has now been reported that the main cupola of the church is also to be restored. Great damage has already been done to the mural paintings, partly due to the "powdering" of the stone that makes up the dome.

If you want to listen to some great music as well as feel good knowing you are personally contributing to the restoration of this fine baroque building, have a look at the programme below and book tickets now.
