This year our annual Christmas concert takes a somewhat different but exciting format. We feature The Manchester Carols, a complete work described as “A Re-telling of the Christmas Story”. It comprises a series of choral items with occasional solo passages. The words are by Carol Ann Duffy, the only woman to have been appointed Poet Laureate, set to music by Sasha Johnson Manning who has written for such eminent singers as sopranos Dame Emma Kirkby and Lynne Dawson, and countertenor the late James Bowman, as well as groups such as the Deller Consort and The Britten Singers. This collection of pieces is linked by a narration, also provided by Carol Ann Duffy, which tells the traditional Christmas story in a way which emphasises its relevance to a modern audience while retaining all the familiar traditional details of the Nativity. Complemented by music which is appealingly melodious we are sure that the overall effect will result in an absorbing experience.
We look forward to seeing you
