Join us in collaboration with St James’s Church, Piccadilly, for a spectacular Christmas celebration, bringing together timeless carols, much-loved festive favourites and beautiful choral music.
From the haunting beauty of Lucy Walker’s There is no rose and Handel’s glorious Waft her angels, to the sparkle of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker March and Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, this is Christmas music at its most magical.
