Songs from Great Britain

Last week's concert featured songs of Great Britain, composed by Henry Purcell, Gerald Finzi, Ralph Vaughn Williams, and Benjamin Britten. Keeping with the British theme, the reception featured dessert scones (sweetened for American palates), shortbread cookies, and fresh brewed (by yours truly!) iced tea.

After a recent move from Washington, D.C., Veronica and Carlos are enjoying their second RH concert ever. They found out by walking past St. James, and enjoy the music in the historic Cathedral. Carlos says, "Music in a church is great!"

RH volunteer Jann adds pretzels to the plates already prepared with pastries, while RH staffer Andrew has decided that our patrons deserve more than one strawberry per plate and makes the necessary adjustments.

Kate, Mary, and Jan are RH veterans who initially found out about the concert through a friend and have been coming ever since. They enjoy the great music.
