City Chamber Choir Christmas Concert

CITY CHAMBER CHOIR takes you on a magical journey through the
Christmas story, with a mixture of much-loved familiar carols and
music that’s right up to date, including the first performance of a
new work setting text by John Donne: 'Immensity, cloister’d' by the choir’s
Composer in Residence, Samuel Wilson. There’s an opportunity to hear
some seasonal readings as well as the usual wine and mince-pie fuelled join-in-able audience participation items.
