Dear parents and families,

It is my pleasure to invite you to a special Christmas concert that I am producing alongside Shamara de Tissera - A Nine Lessons and Carols Christmas event, subtitled: A traditional celebration of the true meaning and music of Christmas.

Shamara and I have put our heads together and compiled a wonderful set of traditional carols which will be sung in the style of Carols at King’s College Cambridge.

These will be alternating with several pertinent readings which will describe the story and spirit of Christmas.

The music will feature traditional and original arrangements of well-loved Christmas carols according to the Willcocks/Rutter editions from ‘Carols for Choirs’, which for some of you may be nostalgic and well-loved, and for others, completely new and previously unheard.

The musicians present will include a full four-part choir of local singers, a local harp consort, a local brass quartet, and organ.

Readings will be given alternately by local Great Southern community representatives.

To this end, we are hoping to produce a ‘Carols at King’s’-style event that will continue to punctuate the local community calendar beyond 2024 alone.

The music and sentiment of the concert will be very beautiful and for many of you could provide an opportunity to escape the superficiality of the modern Christmas experience, and engage with its true spiritual meaning.
