Sleep, Jesus, Sleep
In our Christmas concert we join choirs on both sides of the Atlantic in over 40 live performances in cathedrals, churches, concert halls and schools of JCS Vice-President Roxanna Panufnik’s choral arrangement of Sleep, Jesus, Sleep, a beautiful traditional Ukrainian carol. This is our way of helping her raise funds for the Refugee Council – all the proceeds from the printed copies of the score will be donated to the Refugee Council – they are helping refugees of all nationalities to find their feet in the UK.
Signum Classics has already released another of her arrangements of the piece as an Anglo-Ukrainian-Afghan Christmas refugee benefit single, featuring gospel choir Soul Sanctuary, Ukrainian soprano Inna Husieva and Afghan tabla player Sulaiman Haqpana. Every penny from streams and downloads will go to their Go Fund Me page. Do click, listen and donate – then come and hear us perform the unaccompanied choral version at St Gabriel’s Church, Pimlico on Friday 16th December. You can book your tickets using this link.
