A festive scene at St. Peter's Church
December 2, 2024
Petros Singers, West London’s leading amateur chamber choir, presents its Christmas Concert at Hammersmith’s St Peter’s Church on Black Lion Lane on Saturday 14 December.
This year’s 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.
The evening’s festivities will include audience carols, candlelight, mulled wine and mince pies.
The music, 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.
The celebration will also include some favourite Christmas works, as well as the ever-popular audience carols.
The soloists will include Christopher Webb, bass-baritone, and Cara Berridge, violoncello, along with accompanist Alex Knight.
Tickets at £20, £17 (concessions) and £5 (age 30 and under) are available online and on the door, with the concert beginning at 7pm.
