As the run up to Christmas approaches, come and enjoy some beautiful and atmospheric choral music written for the season of Advent. In the candlelit ambience of St George’s, City of Bristol Choir presents a concert of music by Bach and contemporary British composers – John Tavener and Bob Chilcott, conducted by David Ogden.

The music of John Tavener is peaceful and mesmerising. Bob Chilcott’s Advent Antiphons build on plainsong melodies to create wonderfully rich, sonorous textures, perfectly suited to the very special acoustic of St George’s. Cellist Juliet McCarthy joins the choir to play a movement from Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, and continuo in J.S. Bach’s motets Komm, Jesu, Komm and Lobet den Herrn.
