On Friday 16th December, come to St Mary’s Cathedral for carols and Christmas joy at our annual, and much anticipated, A Choral Christmas Celebration concert. Year after year sell-out crowds have been delighted by this traditional Christmas experience, where the world-famous Saint Mary’s Cathedral Choir and celebrity readers offer glorious music and verse sure to gladden every heart with Christmas cheer. From Once in royal David’s city to excerpts of Handel’s Messiah, there will be glorious music to celebrate this festive time of the year for the young and the young at heart.
The concert, accompanied by orchestra Sinfonia Australis, will feature music by J S Bach, Handel, Lauridsen, Rutter, and others. Prominent public figures will read seasonal texts, both sacred and secular, and the Archbishop of Sydney will give a Christmas reflection (at the 7 p.m. performance only).
The highlight for many audience-members will be the opportunity to join in singing with the choir and orchestra for such favourite carols as O Come, all ye faithful, Hark the herald angels sing, Once in royal David’s city, and more.
