St Albans Choral Society is celebrating its 80th anniversary singing in the city of St Albans, and this year we’re introducing some exciting changes to our 2024 Christmas Concert, ‘Ding Dong Merrily’. The concert will take place in the beautifully renovated St Peter’s Church, with the choir joined by our new accompanist, organist Edward Kemp-Luck.

The programme features carols with opportunities to join in, popular Christmas favourites, a selection of specially chosen seasonal readings and a couple of little surprises. For many, this concert signals the start of their Christmas celebrations – so why not join us, enjoy the music, and stay for wine and mince pies afterwards?

The Choir programme will include  Morten Lauridsen's beautiful O Magnum Mysterium, Gustav Holst's classic, Christmas Day, and Chanticleer, an award winning composition by our recently retired accompanist, Richard James Harvey. 

After the concert, festive refreshments will be provided by and on behalf of Centre 33. The concert duration is about an hour and fifteen minutes.
