Christmas on Sunday morning

A few days before Christmas, we get into the spirit with the most beautiful traditional Christmas carols and festive Christmas music by composers such as Felix Mendelssohn, William Byrd, John Rutter, and many others. Sung by one of the best choirs in England, it promises to be a real treat. The music spans many centuries, from the fourteenth century to the present day. With this fine selection of Christmas music, the choir puts us completely in the right Christmas mood. Merry Christmas!

The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge

Since its founding in the 1570s, The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge has sung daily in the beautiful Gilbert Scott Chapel at St John's College. The choir's repertoire spans many centuries. Fortunately, even this ancient musical institution is moving with the times, as girls have been welcome in the choir for a few years now. The choir is led by Christopher Gray, who upholds a long tradition of renowned musical directors, including Herbert Howells (1940s) and Christopher Gibbons (17th century).
