We return to St Matthew’s Church for our Carols for All!
concert, and we are delighted to welcome back the Junior School
Choir from our regular rehearsal venue, Northampton High School. The
Junior Choir will sing a selection of their favourite carols for us,
join us for the performance of two superb carol medleys by Cecila
McDowall, and help lead the audience in singing popular carols
including Away in a manger, Good King Wenceslas, O
come, all ye faithful, and O little town of Bethlehem.
Earlier in the day the choir will host their first Family Carol
Singalong, aimed at children and young families who would find
our regular 7:30pm start time too late … this will be held at 4:00pm
and will last an hour. In addition to a number of traditional
carols, the Singalong will include Christmas classics such as
Frosty the Snowman, Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Jingle Bells, Let it snow, Mary’s Boy Child, Rudolph the red-nosed
Reindeer, Santa Claus is coming to Town, The Twelve Days of
Christmas, White Christmas, and Winter Wonderland. Our
sparkly organist will also give us a rendition of Sleigh Ride on the
powerful organ of St Matthew’s Church! Please see the separate
listing for details of how to book tickets for the Singalong.Programme:
