Programme Note
This concert concert aims to portray the mystery of Christmas through music, and features a mixture of ancient and modern musical treatments of the discovery of the Saviour lying in a manger: the 'great mystery' of the title. We are delighted to be joined by our good friend Philip Scriven and the Farnham Youth Choir Ensemble. There will also be audience carols (not listed above).
