Programme Note

Our Christmas concert is a feast of seasonal music and carols - traditional and modern, familiar and less familiar - with the audience invited to join in singing some well-known favourites.

As always the choir will be accompanied by the Cinque Ports Brass Ensemble and organist Nigel Howard, and this year will be joined by soprano Helen Bailey.

The concert has traditionally been a very popular and well-attended event, and will definitely put you in the right mood for the Christmas season!
