Celebrate the joy and wonder of the Christmas season in the stunning setting of Winchester Cathedral, with a special festive concert, conducted by John.

He will lead a programme of his much-loved festive works, performed by the Cathedral Choir, the Cathedral’s Junior Choir, and the brass ensemble Septura, with percussion and harp, creating a spectacular celebration of the season.

From timeless Christmas favourites to new discoveries, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.  In the spirit of Christmas, there will be plenty of opportunities to sing along and spread some festive cheer in the wonderful acoustic of St John’s College Chapel, Cambridge.

Rutter will be joined by David Hill MBE on the organ and The Bach Choir, which The Evening Standard recently described as “an immense chorus with a rugged vigour”.

Christmas cheer is guaranteed, so if you’re planning to attend just one carol concert this season, make it this one!
