CHRISTMAS MUSIC BY CANDLELIGHT
Jeffrey Skidmore
Ex Cathedra Consort conducted by Jeffrey Skidmore
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)
Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment. Booking is via the Curve Box Office in Leicester
Running time approx. 2 hours 10 minutes, including interval.
A cash & card bar will be available before the concert and during the interval.
