Performance NotesThe Salvation Army return with their annual Christmas concert at the Royal Albert Hall, this time as the central part of their 150th anniversary celebrations. This concert will be an opportunity for the charity to raise funds to help vulnerable people in need including the homeless, lonely older people and struggling families, as well as a chance to thank their many volunteers for their support over the years and showcase the vital work the charity continues to do.

The event itself will feature the Salvation Army International Staff Band and International Staff Songsters, joined by celebrity readers and performers.

The Royal Albert Hall is proud to support this event as its Annual Free Charity Let for 2015.

The event was filmed by World of Sound for the Salvation Army and made available online via YouTube.
