About

This concert will combine beautiful sacred Christmas music with secular pieces expressing the joy of the season. Benjamin’s Britten’s Ceremony of Carols for upper voices and harp is an annual favourite, this year being sung before Christmas instead of after. The first half of the concert compromises sacred and secular pieces for choir and organ, combining the joy of the Christmas story with the excitement of the season. The cathedral’s professional choir of boys, girls and lower voices will be conducted by David Hardie and accompanied on the organ by Ashley Wagner and on the harp by Rita Schindler. Admission Fee and booking: Adults: £14 Concessions: £12 Children aged 5-17: £7 Children under 5s: Free *Children must be accompanied by a paying grow-up.
