Sing, choirs of angels!
December 6 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
A joyful celebration of Christmas in carols and music!
Join St Peter’s Singers in the beautiful and atmospheric setting of St Oswald’s Church in Guiseley for a concert of Christmas music old and new, with carols for all to sing.
This is the perfect opportunity to take a short break from the stresses of life and to find a moment of peace and a spark of hope in the music of the angels.
St Peter’s Singers are directed by Alexander Woodrow, with Shaun Turnbull accompanying on the organ.
Festive refreshments will be served.
Pay what you can, either on-line or at the door
The programme will include familiar carols and arrangements alongside the premiere of a new carol by St Peter’s Singers’ superb in-house creative duo Hannah Stone and Matthew Oglesby, and music by the outstanding contemporary composer, Cecilia McDowall.
