English Chamber Choir

Rufus Frowde (conductor)

The English Chamber Choir is one of the UK’s leading and busiest vocal ensembles. Recent highlights include the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, London Palladium (with Rick Wakeman), Buckingham Palace, Temple Church, Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St Sophia and many concerts at St Martin-in-the-Fields and abroad.

Alongside familiar Christmas favourites (including Bob Chilcott's arrangement of Silent Night and John Rutter's The Twelve Days of Christmas), ECC's programme also introduces glorious new arrangements of familiar carols.

ECC is conducted by highly-acclaimed Artistic Director, Rufus Frowde and accompanied by Richard Hills - world-class, leading musicians of their generation.

The 80-minute concert will run without interval.
