Britten's Ceremony of Carols | Eboracum Baroque

Wimpole favourites Eboracum Baroque return with a new concert specially for Christmas: Benjamin Britten's glittering Ceremony of Carols for upper voice and harp and a selection of other seasonal music sung by some of the best young voices in the UK. The concert will also feature well known christmas carols sung by Eboracum Baroque and accompanied on the harp by Cecily Beer.

Britten's Ceremony of Carols is a selection of movements set to a Middle English text, originally written in 1942 when Britten was on voyage returning from the USA. Eboracum Baroque provide a performance platform for recent graduates from the top music institutions in the UK including the Royal College of Music and the University of York. The group has performed all across the UK and are delighted to perform again at Wimpole Hall where they recorded their first CD in January 2015.
