As the nights grow longer and the winter draws in, celebrate Christmas as the season of light and renewal. Settle into the warm radiance of familiar favourites by Byrd and Darke, as well as modern classics by Villette, Tavener and Whitacre. Nine carols from living composers, many heard for the first time in Oxford. Each song – the vibrant dance, exuberant joy, a quiet expectancy – shines a new light on the meaning of Christmas. Join the University Church on Saturday, 7 December for a concert full of the golden glow of a yule-log fire and the warmth of home.
