Christmas Music by Candlelight
Take an evening to escape the festive rush and immerse yourself in a concert of spellbinding music, a quietly beautiful celebration of mystery, wonder and the deep, still heart of the season, performed by candlelight. Expect some of your favourite carols, and discover a treasure trove of gorgeous new - and old - music and readings that explore the magic, humour and peace of Christmas.
“Ex Cathedra stood out for the way they combine technical excellence with humanity and warmth. They’re seriously professional but also love the music into being, and I don’t think any choir in Britain does that better.” (Michael White, Catholic Herald)
The running time is approx. 2 hours 10 minutes, including interval.
Refreshments will be available to purchase during the interval.
Early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
