Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

[Trafalgar]

...at King's

any of you guys been before?

 

[AJB Temple]

Yes. The acoustics of that building are incredible.

Seeing it at King's is definitely on my bucket list. We have it at our parish every year but it's obviously not the same.

Only on the radio, never been, but always worth a listen.

Also on my "to do" list.

In a separate but similar vein, the King's Singers were in Switzerland last weekend and we went. OK, it's a pretty new, purpose-designed concert hall in Luzern, not "just a church", but how just 6 blokes with no microphone assistance at all could make themselves heard so well - including hearing every word in the quiet bits - in a hall capable of seating, at a guess, over 1,000 people, speaks volumes both for their vocal skills and I guess for the acoustics of the venue.

If you like singing I'd highly recommend going to one of their concerts if you get the chance.

Whenever I hear it on the radio I'm taken back to my childhood sitting on the kitchen units with my mother busy preparing wonderful food for Christmqas and listening to the carols and the readings.

Magical

It was first done in Truro cathedral, I found out on Sunday.
