Chickenshed Kensington & Chelsea will be celebrating Winter with a presentation of their collaboration with the Royal College of Music on Tuesday 26 November at 7pm at Chelsea Academy. This new piece of theatre is called Winter Winds.

Winter Winds is a collection of musical pieces that rejoice in winter, the changing seasons and the rhythm of life.

Chickenshed Artistic Team have worked alongside exceptionally talented musicians from the Sparks Programme at the Royal College of Music to devise these original seasonal arrangements. The children, who are all from Chickenshed's Childrens Theatre group aged from 7 – 9 years, will be presenting the results to their parents, families, friends and supporters on Tuesday.
