Tonight Cathures gave a wonderful concert of Choral Music by Nordic Composers , Grieg and Sibelius amongst them. This Concert,  --  'Northern Lights',  was arranged before the realisation that it would happen on the same evening as EarthHour. Kelvinside Hillhead  has taken part from the beginning and switched off the Floodlights for that particular Hour.  So extra efforts were made to enable both events to take place safely. Rehearsals showed just how dark it could get, and the realisation that we would need to have some light for the Choir, after all the words for the latter part of the programme were in Finnish!

So with Torches, Candles and battery powered Site Lights, we were all ready for the Big Switch Off; Oh!  and we'd better tell the Audience too.

The Lights go out on Saturday! Could be interesting, as Cathures( our resident Choir) are having their early Spring Concert on Saturday in the Sanctuary.

We know how effective our Candlelight Carol Concert can be. A moving and emotional experience for the many people who attend. Kelvinside Hillhead has always been at the forefront with its support of EarthHour and we have switched of our lights for the designated hour each year.  Glasgow CC and some of the definitive buildings around us are also playing their own small part. Generally it's been a very peaceful and quiet time when coffee and cake by candlelight was available for those sitting in the darkened splendour of the Sanctuary. This year we will have beautiful music. Photograph of the Aurora Borealis over North Berwick, by Chee Seong Foo, courtesy of news.bbcimg.co.uk
