Concert news

Our last concert was on Sunday 10 December where we performed our 2023 Christmas Celebration.  St Albans Choral Society first gave a Christmas concert in 1944 and has continued to do so ever since; this concert marks the start of Christmas for many people.  The concert included James Francis Brown’s fabulous ‘Hertfordshire Carols’, written for and premiered by the choir in 2021, James MacMillan’s stirring anthem ‘O Radiant Dawn’, Mark David Boden’s ‘Dormi Jesu’, and a wide range of other carols, old and new, by composers including John Rutter, Bob Chilcott and David Willcocks.
