Sing Choirs of Angels

Sing Choirs of Angels is a recent addition to our Advent calendar and has proved immensely popular. It is a mix of seasonal music, readings and poetry conjuring up a celebratory yet reflective atmosphere ahead of the big day.

The event takes place on Christmas Eve at 4:30pm for all those who cannot make it to Midnight Mass or for those who need a moment to draw breath and reflect in this busiest of times.

St Bride’s Choir continues the tradition of exploring settings of poetry with a seasonal theme – Gerard Manley Hopkins’s Bethlehem Star is the text for a recent composition by Bob Chilcott and we will also be singing the Barn House Carol, with words by Mary Lincoln and music by Tony Britten, and Nicholas O’Neill’s 2002 piece, A Sad Carol for These Distracted Tymes.

The service is open to all, ticketless and free to attend. If you would like to be sent an email reminder closer to the service please click to register. This also helps us manage numbers.
