A Festive Celebration featuring the Training Choir, Junior Choir, and Senior Choir
Join all three Farnham Youth Choirs for a magical evening of seasonal music, featuring Benjamin Britten's celebrated masterpiece, A Ceremony of Carols.
About the Concert
Celebrate the festive season with the multi-award-winning Farnham Youth Choir family! This annual highlight brings together over 100 young singers across our Training Choir, Junior Choir, and Senior Choir for an uplifting evening of Christmas music and holiday warmth.
Featured Performance: Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols
The highlight of this year's Christmas program will be a performance of Benjamin Britten’s iconic treble-voice work, A Ceremony of Carols, performed by the FYC Senior Choir under the direction of Artistic Director Patrick Barrett. Written in 1942 during Britten’s sea voyage across the Atlantic, this luminous masterpiece weaves together Middle English poetry, piano textures, and striking choral harmonies. Set within the acoustics of St Thomas-on-the-Bourne, it promises to be a unforgettable musical experience.
Festive Favourites from Junior & Training Choirs
Alongside Britten’s classic work, our youngest singers in the Training Choir (conducted by Claire Robins) and Junior Choir (conducted by Issy Pott) will perform a delightful array of contemporary seasonal arrangements, and joyful festive songs to get the whole family into the Christmas spirit.
Tickets will go on sale on 1st November from here. Please note that our ticketing partner will ask if you would like to add a tip to your booking, but there is no requirement to do so.
