An unforgettable musical celebration of soul-stirring harmonies, with complimentary festive treats, in aid of local homeless charities.
On Tuesday, 9th December, from 1pm to 2pm, Devonshire Square will celebrate the festive season by hosting in its historic Western Courtyard ‘Christmas with Soul’, an outstanding FREE lunchtime concert by the multi-award-winning female vocal group ‘Sleeke’.
Known for their beautiful harmonies, vibrant performance style, and polished stage presence, the talented vocalists will delight audiences with a repertoire that includes Christmas songs, Soul, Motown, Pop classics, as well as moving Gospel and festive tunes – all performed with an engaging R&B and Soul twist.
Founded by Tashala Forrest, Sleeke boast extensive experience across TV, theatre, touring and international stages. The performers in Sleeke have worked alongside some of the world’s most renowned artists, including Stevie Wonder, Soul II Soul, Sister Sledge, James Arthur, and Paloma Faith.
Attendees will also enjoy a complimentary tasting experience of freshly prepared festive treats from DSQ’s iconic restaurants and bars, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Devonshire Square’s Art for Love’ Winter Festival
‘Christmas with Soul’ forms part of Devonshire Square’s ‘Art for Love’ Winter Festival, a curated programme of world-class artistic experiences organised by Devonshire Square’s Community and Events Management to support the arts and raise awareness of important social causes.
Charity Appeal – DSQ’s Giving Tree
This year’s edition is dedicated to supporting The Connection, London’s largest homeless charity, and local non-profit Whitechapel Mission. From 15th November and throughout the festival, Devonshire Square will collect essential items – such as warm clothing, non-perishable food, and toiletries – in aid of these deserving charities.
Donations can be dropped off at the ground floor receptions of Buildings 6, 9, 9a, and 7, from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. All contributions will be delivered to the charities over the festive season, with a second delivery scheduled for the second week of January.
For inspiration on what to give, visit the Devonshire Square’s Giving Tree, a unique Christmas tree adorned with paper hearts on which the wishes of those in need, supported by The Connection Charity, have been transcribed. Visitors are invited to read and honour these wishes in the true spirit of the season.
The Giving Tree will be on display in Devonshire Square’s Western Courtyard from 2nd December to 7th January and is free to visit.
All artists performing during the DSQ ‘Art for Love’ Winter Festival will appear beside this iconic tree, which has helped hundreds of homeless individuals receive the essentials they need to face the cold months and to feel cared for during a time when loneliness can be hardest.
