Programme Note
Our annual Christmas concert is on Saturday 20th December at 7:30pm at St Martin’s Church, Epsom in the presence of The Mayor of Epsom & Ewell, Robert Leach, and Helen Maguire, MP for Epsom & Ewell.
This year ECS has commissioned a new carol, Ring, Bells, Ring!, from composer Gareth Treseder in honour of former ECS member, Liz Kent. As usual there will be much festive music with carols familiar and new with audience invited to join in the traditional favourites. The concert will be conducted by our MD Julian Collings with Connaught Brass providing the true festive spirit.
Come and celebrate Christmas with Epsom Choral Society.
