About the programme

English choral music is unique throughout the world, drawing on the centuries-old tradition of singing in venerable cathedrals and colleges. Christmas carols, with their joyous exuberance and their religious faith which goes right to the heart, are a part of Christmas just like the scent of cloves and mistletoe. The great celebration resonates throughout moving carols by the most famous English choral composers, and the conviction grows that there is something in the joyful chorus of the angels: Joy to the World!
