About this Event
The Marches Choir present a Big Christmas Sing!
On Wednesday 11th December, The Marches Choir, conducted by Alistair Auld, will present their Big Christmas Sing!, a festive evening of carols and Christmas music in St John's Church, Bishops Castle.
The choir will sing a variety of seasonal pieces, including “The Angel Gabriel”, a lively and tuneful re-telling of Gabriel's story, arranged by David Wilcocks, and Sing Lullaby!, a traditional Basque carol, with a lovely lilting melodic charm. Angelus et Virginem, a joyous carol, with a dance like setting, will have a beautiful flute solo, and the choir will also perform an arrangement of The First Nowell and Pachelbel's Canon with the two well-known tunes cleverly combined to great effect, using two flutes and choir. As usual there will also be a number of carols for audience participation.
Children and families are especially welcome, and there will be some special carols in which the children in the audience will be the stars! Mince pies and wine will be available in the interval to add to the festive spirit.
