Carolling at the Bruce Hotel

 

Every year, the Bruce Hotel in Stratford dresses up for the festive season with a fine display of lights outside and a lobby full of delights, including a model of the hotel rendered in gingerbread and a massive Christmas tree. On 30 November 2021, a team of singers from the Stratford Concert Choir provided the carols while the staff lit the tree for their guests.

 The group included (from left to right): Mark Allwood (tenor), Ruth Stock (soprano), Charmion Chaplin-Thomas (alto), Marilyn Smith (soprano & conductor), Heather Redden-Greer (accompanist), Rose Marcy (alto), Yvonne Hertzberg (soprano), Chris Dowdell (alto), Elizabeth Chidley (alto), Sheila Holloway (alto), and Jeff Laustsen (bass).
