The programme consists of Bob Chilcott’s Christmas Oratorio and a selection of Christmas Carols.

Chilcott’s Christmas Oratorio, written for the Three Choirs Festival, received its World Premiere in Gloucester Cathedral in 2019. It is a powerful re-telling of the Christmas story, using words from the Gospels of St Luke and St Matthew together with poetry spanning the 16th to the 19th centuries. The work includes five well-known hymn texts set to original melodies.

We are delighted to confirm that our choir will be joined by soloists

  • Anne-Marie Kerr (mezzo-soprano)
  • Cameron Mitchell (tenor)
  • Sam Weakley (bass)

and accompanied by

  • Sarah Devereux (flute)
  • David T Shingler (organ)
