Christmas with Chamber Choir of London

Presented by Saffron Hall

Tickets from £25

Price includes a commission of £1.00

What sweeter music. Dominic Ellis-Peckham’s professional chamber choir heralds the coming of Christmas with a compendium of carols old and new, from familiar congregational favourites to modern classics, and plenty of chances to join them in festive song.

From Gabriel’s Message to The Twelve Days of Christmas, from the darkness of a bleak mid-winter to the coming of the light, this is a song sequence from a wide variety of voices that captures the joy and reflection, celebration and nostalgia wrapped up in the season.
