Every year, the Advent and Christmas seasons offer a feast of music at STB, and our choirs are already rehearsing hard. Our new flyer provides a handy overview. View or download it here. Read more about the highlights below.
Saturday 28 November, 19.00: Advent Carol Service
Kick off the season of Advent with the traditional Advent Carol Service at STB. Sung by the Anglican Consort, this service brings together beautiful music with readings and prayers that launch this season of preparation. This year’s programme includes carols by Howells and Britten, as well as new pieces by young composers of Anglican choral music, several of which will be performed in Germany for the first time at this service.
Saturday 5 December, 15.30–17.30: Carols and Cake
The perfect time to drop in and get some festive spirit while you are doing your Christmas shopping, Carols and Cake is exactly what it says on the tin. We will sing lots of carols and at half time there will be cake! For those new to Carols and Cake, we have a big book of carols and you get to choose which we sing. Come along, and bring your friends and family. We will be delighted to see you, whether you stop in for just one carol or stay for all of them!
Sunday 20 December, 19.00: Nine Lessons and Carols
This wonderful, traditional service takes us into Christmas Week with a bang. The STB choir lead this service of congregational and choral carols as the readings take us through the story of Christmas. Come and celebrate with us in the candle-lit church as we prepare for the Great Festival of Christmas.
