Experience the warmth and joy of Christmas with a concert devoted to the best traditional carols ever written. Join in the singing with the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus and Youth Chorus. Favourites include O Come All Ye Faithful, Good King Wenceslas, Sussex Carol, In The Bleak Midwinter, Joy To The World, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. With a selection of Christmas music including Teresa Barlow’s new setting of Carol Ann Duffy’s poem, The Christmas Truce, the evening is the perfect way to start the Christmas holiday in the company of family and friends, and a good-old, sing-along.
