Description

Millions of viewers and listeners worldwide invite The Choir of King's College, Cambridge into their homes every Christmas Eve for the annual broadcast of their iconic Nine Lessons and Carols service.

Now we invite you to experience this historic ensemble live, at Llewellyn Hall, in their first visit since their sell-out tour of 2019.

The Choir will perform Stravinsky's Mass for choir and double wind quintet, a moving and deeply personal search for meaning, alongside the rich harmonies of Gabrieli’s O Magnum Mysterium—an unmissable event.

Integral to their performance is a work commissioned from Australian composer Damian Barbeler, working with a text by Judith Nangala Crispin (a descendent of the Bpangerang people), which weaves a new tapestry from the threads of history, a dialogue in radiant song.

Experience the unique sound of ‘one of the best choirs in the world’ (BBC Classical Music Magazine).
