REGISTER NOW TO SING WITH VICTORIA CHORALE

Join us for our much loved Christmas Concert at St Paul’s Cathedral as we collaborate once again with the Choir of St Andrew’s Brighton and the Art of Sound Orchestra led by our joint Music Director and Conductor, Mario Dobernig, with renowned guest soloists.

Program highlights include Fantasia on Christmas Carols, a masterpiece by Vaughan Williams that weaves together traditional southern English folk carols creating a powerful emotional journey. The majestic and well-known Zadok the Priest anthem composed by George Frideric Handel in 1727 for the coronation of King George II will be a thrill to perform.

As is our long-standing tradition, we’ll be performing a variety of classic and modern carols from around the world including some favourites that Mario will encourage the audience to sing along to. 

This is your opportunity to sing at Christmas alongside Victoria's oldest choir, performing works that span centuries, and sharing in the joy that only comes from creating beautiful music together in the magnificent surrounds of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Performance : 5.00pm Saturday 12 December, St Paul's Cathedral
