Ex Cathedra: Christmas Music by Candlelight
Friday 13 | Monday 16 December
Immerse yourself in the serene embrace of these popular, atmospheric concerts – where hushed anticipation and spellbinding seasonal music fills the air, and the choir is enveloped in the soft glow of candlelight. Ex Cathedra perform a seamless sequence of Christmas favourites, little-known gems and gorgeous new music, interspersed with a selection of readings, to explore the magic, mystery – and humour – of the season.
Ex Cathedra’s Christmas concerts are both an undiscovered secret and a cherished tradition, unmistakably seasonal but aimed – in these fast and noisy times – at the still, quiet heart of the season; the mystery as well as the merriment. The true, ancient magic of Christmas? We just know that once experienced, it’s never forgotten.
Make your visit extra special by pre-booking a mince pie and a warming glass of Mulled Wine; available when you book your tickets.
Experience one of the great joys of Christmas, and immerse yourself in an exquisitely performed sequence of seasonal favourites, little-known gems and inspiring new music – with readings to make you smile and reflect. Performed by candlelight, expect a magical atmosphere to celebrate this most wonderful time of the year.
