He said: “The programme ranges from familiar favourites like the Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Vaughan Williams and songs by Howells to little-known gems from my predecessors at Gloucester Cathedral - Mark Lee, Mark Blatchly and John Sanders. We will also perform the delightful Missa ad Praesepe by George Malcolm which he composed for the Choir of Westminster Cathedral. We invite everyone to treat themselves to a well-deserved hour or two of 'me' time just four days before Christmas in the stunning surrounding of Gloucester Cathedral. This concert will send them away full of Christmas spirit.” Accompanying the choir is Gloucester Cathedral’s Organ scholar Mary Pan.
