Mr Bean star Rowan Atkinson will perform at a fundraising 'Mozart extravaganza' for a foodbank as part of a classical music festival.
Mozart - His Life And Music on November 25 will raise vital funds for North London charity Food Bank Aid.
The Blackadder comic will help to explore the great composer’s life through readings, chamber music, and arias from his famous operas – sung by renowned soprano Ailish Tynan.
It's one of seven concerts planned for the eleventh edition of the Highgate International Chamber Music Festival, which sees world class musicians perform in the candle-lit surroundings of St Anne's Church, followed by mince pies and mulled wine.
Jazz is on the bill with The Genius of Gershwin performed by legendary clarinettist Julian Bliss and his quintet, plus there are performances by rising star Braimah Kanneh-Mason - whose brother Sheku has already played the festival.
The programme runs from November 23-26 with masterpieces by Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms and Ravel set alongside lesser-known gems by Enescu, Vaughan Williams and Richard Strauss, performed by combinations of instruments not heard anywhere else.
Violinists Sophia Jaffé and Benjamin Nabarro, viola players Ruth Gibson and Meghan Cassidy, cellist Robert Cohen, and founders and co-directors of the festival Ashok Klouda (cellist), Natalie Klouda (violin) and pianist Irina Botan will also perform.
Festival co-director Ashok Klouda comments: "The artists who perform at HICMF frequently appear at major concert halls around the world, so it truly is an honour to bring so many of them together to share this incredible repertoire with the surrounding community in Highgate.
"We’ve focused on creating a programme with as much variety as possible, with music old and new, literally something for everyone. HICMF provides a unique festive atmosphere and the rare opportunity to hear world-class music-making in the beautiful candlelit setting of St Anne’s Church, with mince pies and mulled wine."
All concerts take place in St Anne’s Church, 106 Highgate West Hill, Highgate N6. Tickets start from £20 and £6 for students, with up to two children going free with any paying adult.
