\"Advent<\/a>The first concert commitment in the Chamber Choir’s diary is now only six weeks away, and is a\u00a0new addition to the Concert Diary for the department.<\/p>\n

We are delighted to be launching the Advent season for St. Mildred’s Church on Stour Street, Canterbury this year, in a programme that includes popular seasonal music and readings.<\/p>\n

We’ll be performing Britten’s Hymn to the Virgin<\/em>, Tavener’s Today the Virgin<\/em>, giving my carol A Babe is Born <\/em>an outing before the Cathedral Carol Service the following week, as well as an array of traditional carols to welcome the beginning of the Advent period.<\/p>\n

There will also be a selection of poetry and scriptural readings on the Advent theme, and the concert will be threaded through by the wonderful Advent antiphons. With the whole church lit by candlelight on this winter’s night,\u00a0when the past, present and future will, for a short moment in words and song, come together, it promises to be a wonderful occasion<\/p>\n

Tickets are now on sale:\u00a0details on the What’s On calendar on-line here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
