Family Christmas Carol Concert at Christ Church Cathedral

About the Family Christmas Carol Concert at Christ Church Cathedral

The Boys of Christ Church Cathedral Choir warmly welcomes those of all ages for a family-friendly, relaxed, fun and informal daytime celebration of the festive season at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.

Come and enjoy the thunderous sound of the organ and be inspired by the beautiful angelic voices of the choristers. The programme will be interspersed with audience carols, so make sure you come ready to sing and thoroughly immerse yourself in this seasonal treat for all the family.

Christ Church Cathedral Choir is revered for the vibrancy of its sound and its artistic flexibility, performing early and contemporary music with equal skill.

Over the years, the choir has provided a perfect platform for singers to progress to other award-winning choral groups such as the BBC Singers, The Sixteen, The King’s Singers, The Tallis Scholars and The Cardinall’s Musick, as well as to solo careers in oratorio, opera and musical theatre.

The choir is regularly involved in broadcasts of Evensong and other key services and concerts and is often heard performing theme tunes and incidental music for TV dramas and films.

The Family Christmas Concert is an annual concert that is enjoyed by many and is a firm fixture in the choir’s diary.
