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)
Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment. Booking is via the Curve Box Office in Leicester
This concert will end at approximately 10pm.
A cash & card bar will be available before the concert and during the interval.
