Programme Note
Cappella Nova presents an evening of music and readings to inspire, illuminate and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. This year our Christmas concert will be held in the atmospheric setting of the Church of Our Lady and St Alphege in Oldfield Park, Bath.
All proceeds from the concert will be donated to two good causes: Bath Foodbank, providing emergency food for local people in crisis, and St Alphege’s Church Fabric Fund, maintaining and restoring this unique church.
Founded in 2001, Cappella Nova is a chamber choir of around 25 experienced singers, based in and around Bath. Recent performances include a programme of religious music at St Michael’s Without, Bath, and ‘Fairest Isle’, a concert of music from the British Isles, at Holy Trinity Church, Doynton.
