Carols from King's: A Celebration of Christmas

A celebration of Christmas from the stunning, candlelit King's College Chapel, Cambridge. Led by the dean, the Rev Dr Stephen Cherry, the concert begins in the time-honoured way as a solo chorister sings the first verse of Once in Royal David's City. Music includes Philip Ledger’s setting of On Christmas Night, Anton Bruckner’s Ave Maria and The Lamb by John Tavener. The story of the Nativity is read by members of King’s College in the words of the King James Bible and in Christmas poems by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, UA Fanthorpe and Howard Thurman. Congregational carols include Unto Us Is Born a Son, O Come All Ye Faithful and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.
