The Cecilia International Choir - Christmas Carol Concerts

(Thu 03 December 2009)

In addition to the carols sung by the choir, all three programmes include performances by guest choirs and opportunities for audience participation, all under the leadership of the choir�s permanent conductor, Malcolm Davies. To further enhance the Christmas atmosphere, the interval refreshments provided are mulled wine and a traditional mince pie.

The Cecilia International Choir is a mixed voice group of approximately 70 singers. Starting in 1975 as the British Choir, it gradually attracted both local Dutch members and expatriates from many different cultures who wanted to enjoy singing in an English speaking environment. In addition to these Carol Concerts, the choir rehearses classical choral works, which are performed in early mid June.
