Congratulations and thank you to the members of the University Chamber Choir, who rose to the occasion (and rose early, too…) to sing live on this morning’s Today programme on BBC Radio 4.<\/p>\n

The programme was broadcast directly from the Gulbenkian, and the programme closed with the Choir performing\u00a0Star of the East, <\/em>a carol written\u00a0by composer Russell Hepplewhite. A lovely opportunity to present a recent carol to a wide listenership; thanks to all the singers.<\/p>\n
