A Christmas Selection Box

From the radiant soundworld of Morten Lauridsen’s O magnum mysterium and Francis Poulenc’s Hodie Christus natus est to the tender beauty of John Tavener’s The Lamb, Peter Warlock’s Bethlehem Down and Arnold Bax’s There is no Rose, this programme brings together cherished Christmas music and captivating discoveries. Enjoy the warmth of John Rutter, the sparkle of Mykola Leontovych’s Carol of the Bells, and a lively finale featuring Jingle Bells and The Twelve Days of Christmas. And this is more than a concert: the audience gets to help choose the participatory carols and join in with them, creating a joyful, communal celebration of Christmas. Come for the music, stay for the festive atmosphere – and enjoy refreshments afterwards while meeting fellow concert-goers, members of St Albans Chamber Choir and Musical Director John Gibbons.
