About

Join us for a wonderful programme of new and traditional Advent choral works.

We will be exploring the ancient text of the Advent 'O' Antiphons, the seven prayers that are recited in the run up to Christmas. These texts have been set by a variety of choral composers over the years and we are excited to perform contrasting musical interpretations of these prayers.

We will be featuring familiar works by composers such as Byrd, Britten, Holst and MacMillan as well as pieces by contemporary composers such as Lucy Walker, Kerensa Briggs and Piers Connor Kennedy.
