Advent Concert

About

We are delighted to welcome back Benjamin Nicholas, Director of Music at Merton College, Oxford, and the college's 34-strong mixed voice choir, one of the elite Oxbridge choral ensembles. Merton performed our first Advent Concert in 2015, and while the students in that choir have graduated and left Oxford, those that have filled their places have gone on to confirm the Merton chapel choir under Benjamin Nicholas's directorship as "one of the best collegiate choirs in the land" (American Record Guide) and "one of the UK's finest choral ensembles" (The Gramophone).
There will be music for Advent and for Christmas from across the ages, both traditional and contemporary, with contributions from the College's Organ Scholar accompanying the choir and performing as a soloist. Mulled wine and mince pies in the interval as always.
