Early Music Organisation :: The Choir of Clare College, Cambridge / Graham Ross – An English Christmas (oudemuziek.nl)

Spiced gingerbread, warm wine, thousands of lights and almost as many gifts: cozy! But it will be a real Christmas with mighty beautiful evergreens with just the right dose of emotion and joy. As one of the best university choirs in the world, the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge is the dream atmosphere maker for the most beautiful time of the year. Between stillness and party noise, the singers curate the ultimate end-of-year soundtrack with centuries-old traditionals, festive polyphony and English choral classics from the past and present.
