Description
Directed by Quintin Beer, our outstanding Director of Music, this year’s concert promises to be a celebration of both sacred and secular Christmas music, combining the wonderful voices of our professional choir with the world-class musicianship of ChamberMusicBox, an ensemble of internationally renowned artists who have been in residence at our church since 2020 and whose Christmas concerts have become a highlight of the festive season at the church in recent years.

Following the concert, join us for a champagne reception, a perfect opportunity to soak up the atmosphere of our magnificent church and celebrate with friends and family.
