The Choir, consisting of the \u0421onvent sisters, will be performing there on September 28th. It will then continue presenting its concert programme in other cities: Cardiff, Bath, Poole, Winchester, Basingstoke and London.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Convent has organised such events in Britain before. In 2017 the sisters performed in London within the scope of the \u201cHeart 2 Heart\u201d Festival.\u00a0 In July, 2018, they visited the town of East Cowes on the Isle of Wight and took part in festivities, dedicated to the Romanov Family. Last autumn the \u0421hoir gave several concerts in London, Colchester, Peterborough and Oxford. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In May-June, this year the sisters performed in London, Southampton, Poole, Shaftesbury, Newport and Port Talbot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concerts will consist of two parts: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worship chants and spiritual songs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sisters\u2019 renewed repertoire this year will undoubtedly satisfy even most demanding audiences. Along with well-known favourites the choir will be presenting several new pieces, selected for the tour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XjpVDIbt760\" width=\"832\" height=\"467\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concerts will be succeeded by small fairs, displaying items made in the Convent workshops. All proceeds from the concerts and the fairs will go to support far-reaching social work that the sisters of St Elisabeth Convent do in hospitals, boarding homes, clinics and orphanages. The Convent also operates two rehabilitation centres for the homeless, ex-prisoners and those suffering from alcohol and drug addictions. The sisters\u2019 work is aimed at bringing these people back to the fullness of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><b><i>Please see the concert schedule for tour dates, venues and more<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><b>BRISTOL<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Saturday, September 28, 7.30pm<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cathedral Church of SS Peter and Paul<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clifton Park, Bristol, BS8 3BX<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong>CARDIFF<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sunday, September 29, 12.00pm<\/strong> <br \/>\nThe Russian Orthodox Parish of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God<br \/>\nNazareth House Colum Rd, Cardiff, CF10 3UN<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><b>BATH<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Sunday, September 29, 7.30pm<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St John the Evangelist<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Parade, Bath, BA2 4AF<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><b>POOLE<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Monday, September 30, 7pm<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Admission Fee: \u00a33.50<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint Dunstan&#8217;s Church<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St Osmund&#8217;s Road, Parkstone, Poole, BH14 9JG\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><b>WINCHESTER\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Tuesday, October 1, 7pm<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospital of St Cross\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St Cross Road, Winchester, SO23 9SD<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>BASINGSTOKE<\/strong><br \/>\nWednesday, October 2, 7:00 pm<br \/>\nSt Josephs Catholic Church<br \/>\nSt Michael&#8217;s Road, Basingstoke, RG22 6TY<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><b>LONDON\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><b>London<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Thursday, October 3, 7.30pm<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint Raphael&#8217;s Catholic Church<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portsmouth Road, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 2NA\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong>London<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Friday, October 4, 7.10pm<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Sacred Heart <br \/>\nEdge Hill, Wimbledon, London, SW19 4LU<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free admission.
