A Christmas History - The City of Leicester Singers

This year, The City of Leicester Singers present an evening of music and readings which will celebrate the festive season by exploring its story through the ages to modern times. We hope that our programme will provide something of interest, and even amusement, for all, as well as giving our audience the opportunity to join us in singing some favourite carols.

Our carols are arranged in chronological order, starting with music from the fourteenth century, and finishing in the present day. Most will be familiar, but a few are new not only to the choir, but probably also to those listening. Readings by members of the choir - a mixture of prose and poems - will explore the development of Christmas and the origins of many customs associated with it.

We hope that our concert will be enjoyable, and informative in a light-hearted way. It might even provide some interesting things for our audience to pass on to friends and family over the Christmas season!
