Don’t miss Petros Singers’ special concert celebrating the richness and enduring appeal of the Christmas choral tradition.

In 2016, during Richard Bannan’s first Christmas as Petros Singers’ Musical Director, they performed Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. Ten years on, they return to the same sequence of medieval poetry that inspired Britten, reimagined through a beautiful programme of choral music from across the centuries.

As Richard explains: “One of the hallmarks of Petros Singers, not only under my direction but well established by my predecessors, is the choir’s refusal to be constrained by repertoire conventions or predictable programming. Marking ten years since my first Christmas concert with the choir felt like the perfect opportunity to reflect on that journey.

For singers, text is our USP; instrumentalists only get songs without words! Returning to the poetry Britten chose for his seminal Ceremony, while exploring how a range of composers have responded to those same texts, offers both an intriguing musical challenge and a fresh way of experiencing these timeless words.”

Don’t miss this special concert celebrating the richness and enduring appeal of the Christmas choral tradition, as they usher in the festive season with glorious music, candlelight, mulled wine and mince pies – not forgetting the much-loved audience carols.
