Walking down the street towards the venue was a wonderful start to the evening. The 18th century church was floodlit and the spire towered above us in the night sky. Christ Church Spitalfields was designed by the British architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (a contemporary of Sir Christopher Wren), as part of an effort to provide sufficient churches for ‘Godless thousands’ who lived just outside the City of London. These thousands included a large number of French Huguenot silk weavers who had recently been expelled from France. What an interesting venue for a group from Corsica!

De wandeling over straat naar de locatie was een geweldige start van de avond. De 18e eeuwse kerk baadde in het licht en de torenspits torende boven ons uit in de nachtelijke hemel. Christ Church Spitalfields is ontworpen door de Britse architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (een tijdgenoot van Sir Christopher Wren), als onderdeel van een poging om voldoende kerken bieden aan de “Godless thousands” (duizenden dissidenten) die net buiten de stad woonden.
