About this event
Music for Advent including old favourites by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Orlando Gibbons and Otto Goldschmidt; newer settings of old texts by Christopher Fox and Judith Weir; three stirring congregational hymns; Bach on the piano and the organ; Advent poetry plus more besides, all woven into a moving candlelit sequence. Tom Williams Director Nick Scott-Burt Organ and Piano To help maintain your sense of anticipation for Christmas coming, or indeed to offer an alternative to Slade, Mariah and the many iterations ofO come all ye faithfulyou may have already heard this Festive season, we offer you a still rousing and uplifting programme of well-known and more recently-crafted choral and organ pieces for the season of Advent. You even get to join us in song, in three of the greatest carols of the season. As a reward for your efforts, well offer you some mulled wine and a mince pie and hopefully provide a magical, candlelit atmosphere in this beautiful, 12thCentury church within Leicesters Old Castle quarter. Please note the earlier start time bring the family.
