CONCERT: Christmas from Cambridge

The Perth Undergraduate Choral Society, Inc (PUCS) presents 'Christmas from Cambridge' : a concert of sublime choral music and favourite carols, evoking the atmosphere of traditional Cambridge Carol services.

In the exquisite setting and acoustic of St Patrick's Basilica in Fremantle, the choir, directed by Cambridge Alumnus Jonathan Paxman will present a selection of modern English carol settings, including many pieces featured in the traditional Nine Lessons and Carols services of King's and St John's Colleges in Cambridge. The concert will feature works by John Tavener, Herbert Howells and Boris Ord; and Benjamin Britten's extraordinary cantata "Rejoice in the Lamb".

The audience will be invited to join in the singing with some traditional "community carols" including God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, and Once in Royal David's City. The Basilica Organist, Dominic Perissinotto, will accompany the choir on the Basilica's magnificent pipe organs.

Tickets are $25 full price and $20 concession, available by calling 6424 9923 or at the door.
