Programme Note
Our world could do with a bright shining star to attract some good souls who bring wisdom and peace. We can only hope – and sing of those age-old wise men on their biblical journey to Bethlehem, where in a manger silently slumbered the symbol of heavenly harmony on earth. Our repertoire ranges through regions and time, and you can help spread word and music more widely by contributing to the audience carols! Let's sing the bright sound of that shining star and wish that wisdom and peace may soon follow.
