Supporting Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind

If you can only attend one event this Holiday Season, this is the one for you and your loved ones to enjoy and remember. Last year’s sell-out inaugural concert in St. Peter’s Church brought the capacity house to its feet in rapturous applause. Due to popular demand “A Christmas Affair” returns to provide an inspiring and uplifting afternoon/evening of passionate and soaring melodies that will romance with stunning, engaging and spell-binding music. Make this the year to have “A Christmas Affair” and bring the gift of love and joy to family and friends. You’ll be swept away by the stirring array of arias, songs and harmonies, while supporting a good cause too.
