Programme Note

Our concert marks a series of 12 events that bring the Christmas festive season into close proximity with other important dates and occasions in December, including World Aids Day, Hanukkah and St Nicholas Day. The programme weaves secular and sacred music of celebration and related beliefs into the Christmas narrative, with a message of love and peace is at its very heart.

With audience carols too, this is a Christmas event with a difference!

Retiring collection in aid of Eden Project charities.

The venue has full disabled access. Accompanying carers are eligible for a free ticket.

Running time: 90 minutes plus a 20-minute interval (refreshments available).
