CHRISTMAS MUSIC
BY CANDLELIGHT

Ex Cathedra Consort conducted by Jeffrey Skidmore

In the stillness of a church, where candles glow... comes the luminous sound of a choir in quiet harmony.

The singers will envelop you with a spellbinding sequence of seasonal favourites, little-known gems, and inspirational new music. Add a selection of readings that capture the mystery - and humour - of Christmas, and you won't want to miss these popular, atmospheric concerts.

"A truly wonderful, imaginative programme telling the Christmas story in all its guises" (Birmingham Post)
