The award winning Surrey Hills Chamber Choir and Surrey Hills Singers will be performing their traditional candlelit Christmas Concert in St Nicolas Church, Bury Street, Guildford on **Sunday 10th December at 7.00pm. **

The highlight of the concert will be a complete performance of Benjamin Britten’s “A Ceremony of Carols”. The Surrey Hills Choirs performance will quite possibly be unique as it will draw on both versions with some songs performed by the mixed voices of the Chamber Choir and others by the treble voices of the Singers. The work will be accompanied by professional harpist Heather Wrighton.

The concert will also include other Christmas music drawn from several centuries as well as some non-seasonal works. The Singers’ choreography and the Chamber Choir’s trademark presentation of singing from different parts of the church will also be on show and there will be the usual opportunity for the audience to join in the singing with some carols. The evening will end with the chance to chat with performers over a glass of wine and some seasonal nibbles.

Choir Founder and Musical Director, Debbie Walton says, “The choirs are looking forward to our Christmas performance. Many of our regular supporters say that our concert is when Christmas really begins for them each year. The combination of uplifting music sung in a beautiful candlelit church is very special for both audience and performers.”
