Programme Note
Hard on the heels of our Dixit Dominus success, we are preparing for our annual Christmas concert, 'A Great and Mighty Wonder', at St John's Wellington in four weeks' time, on Monday 16 December at 7:30 pm.
This is an exciting time, as it marks the debut of our new Musical Director Andrew Kirk. We are very much looking foward to working with him.
Andrew has put together a lovely programme of traditional Christmas songs, including some of his own arrangements, and ranging from the divine, to the uplifting, to the light-hearted. There will be something for everyone, and for this concert we are delighted to be supporting the charity Home Start
