Ex Cathedra: Christmas Music by Candlelight
Friday 13 | Monday 16 December
Immerse yourself in the serene embrace of these popular, atmospheric concerts – where hushed anticipation and spellbinding seasonal music fills the air, and the choir is enveloped in the soft glow of candlelight. Ex Cathedra perform a seamless sequence of Christmas favourites, little-known gems and gorgeous new music, interspersed with a selection of readings, to explore the magic, mystery – and humour – of the season.
Ex Cathedra’s Christmas concerts are both an undiscovered secret and a cherished tradition, unmistakably seasonal but aimed – in these fast and noisy times – at the still, quiet heart of the season; the mystery as well as the merriment. The true, ancient magic of Christmas? We just know that once experienced, it’s never forgotten.
Experience one of the great joys of Christmas, and immerse yourself in an exquisitely performed sequence of seasonal favourites, little-known gems and inspiring new music – with readings to make you smile and reflect. Performed by candlelight, expect a magical atmosphere to celebrate this most wonderful time of the year.
