Petros Singers: A Winter’s Day & Night

This year, Petros Singers’ Christmas Concert encompasses both the festive and the seasonal in a beautiful programme which combines traditional carols with music that emulates the frost, cold and bright skies of wintertime. Do join us for audience carols, candlelight, mulled wine and mince pies to welcome in the festivities!

Our musical journey, encompassing both wintertime and Christmastide, has two works by contemporary composers as its focus: Sarah Quartel’s cantata, A winter day, conjures up haunting and vivid images of a cold and crisp winter, and of swirling, dancing snowflakes. In contrast, Cecilia McDowаll’s carol cycle, A winter’s night, combines several joyous songs to create a performance full of Christmas spirit. This festive celebration will also include some favourite Christmas works, as well as the ever-popular audience carols for you to sing.

We’re delighted to welcome Christopher Webb, bass-baritone, and Cara Berridge, violoncello, along with our accompanist Alex Knight.

Tickets at £20, £17 (concessions) and £5 (age 30 and under) are available online and on the door.
