A Carlisle-based choir, the Abbey Singers, are to perform their latest concert – a melange of Christmas choral classics.
The concert, which is on Saturday, December 9, will begin with part 1 of J S Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, the programme will continue with a selection of Christmas Carols from around the world.
The second half will include a ‘Carol Raffle’ – where audience members have the chance to hear their favourite carol performed.
Concert tickets include refreshments and one entry to the raffle (more entries can be purchased during the interval).
