Get into the Christmas spirit with spine-tingling sacred music and popular songs, and help raise the roof by joining in with traditional carols. Voxcetera chamber choir present their very popular annual Christmas concert, this year in the stunning venue of St Joseph's Church on Highgate Hill.
The programme will include short sacred works by Handel, Britten, John Tavener, Karl Jenkins, Antony Pitts, John Rutter and Eric Whitacre; sparkling versions of songs such as The Twelve Days of Christmas and Have yourself A merry little Christmas; and sublime arrangements of favourites including Away in a manger, and Ding dong merrily on high. Traditional carols include O little town of Bethlehem and Once in Royal David's City.
The impressive, domed St Joseph's RC Church dominates Highgate Hill, overlooking Waterlow Park. Combining Romanesque and Byzantine styles, it features a beautiful painted vaulted ceiling and an excellent 1898 organ.
