Carols for Christmas

Celebrate Christmas by joining Chansons, Perth’s Chamber Choir, for a concert of carols drawn from across the UK and Europe.

Much great choral music has been written in celebration of Christmas story and our programme draws from renaissance Spain with De Victoria's Duo Seraphim, Italy with Gabrielli's gorgeous Beata es Virgo Maria and Germany with Praetorius's two beautiful compositions; 'Es ist ein Ros' and 'Psallite Unigenito'.

We have Vaughan William's entertaining arrangement of the traditional 'Wassail Song' when our choral forbears walked through villages knocking on doors to sing in return for food and beer. A much loved favourite from Ukraine is Leontovich's ever popular 'Carol of the Bells' as we pay musical visits across various other European countries with music through the ages right up to a recent composition 'Mary, Mother' by Bob Chilcott.

Join us for a concert for all the family, full of great choral music, and set in the wonderful acoustic of St Ninian's Cathedral, to enjoy some of the great Christmas carols sung by Chansons, Perth's Chamber Choir.
