CHRISTMAS FAR AND WIDE
Our programme aims to express the breadth and depth of the Christian celebration of Christmas throughout the world in both hemispheres. You will notice that Christmas is much more than a winter festival, as we see it in much of the northern part of the world - in Australia, for instance, Christmas comes in the middle of summer, and Christmas may well be accompanied by a barbie (BBQ) on the beach. We hope you will appreciate the world-wide nature of the festive celebration in our choice of carols and music, and that you will enjoy singing in harmony with the choir and feel inspired by the wonderful musical heritage of Christian communities - Far and Wide.
Conducted by Richard Archer.
Organist: John Pye
