In the charity's own words
The objects of the Highgate Choral Society are the advancement of the art and culture of music by the presentation of concerts and other ancillary activities. We generally give 3 choral concerts each year in November, March and July at various north London venues, and a Family Carol Concert at St Michael's Church, Highgate in December. We rehearse on Monday evening during the academic year.
