MUSICAL MILESTONES Special
CHRISTMAS MUSIC THROUGH THE AGES

In this seasonal special we trace the development of the carol from its origins as a medieval round dance through the homophonic and polyphonic carols of the Reformation to the ‘art’ and ‘folk’ carols of the 18th and 19th centuries and the extraordinary profusion of fine modern settings and arrangements from the pens of Vaughan Williams, Britten, Sargent, Willocks, Rutter and others.

Admission £3.50 (student £1) at the door (Seasonal refreshments will be served)
