Virtual Christmas Concert 2020 | Summer Concert 2021 | Autumn Concert 2021
Rochester Choral Society invites you to enjoy our Virtual Christmas Concert - available here and on YouTube from Sunday 20th December 2020.
This Christmas, as in previous years, Rochester Choral Society has been following the festive baton of our Musical Director, John Mountford and singing a variety of carols, from jolly favourites like Deck the Halls to soothing lullabies like Still, Still, Still. Jazzy rhythms in Follow that Star, beautiful harmonies in Peter Warlock's Bethlehem Down and modern masterpieces like Gareth Treseder's The Sleep of the Infant Jesus, which was written to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. If you enjoy our concert, please consider making a donation.
This year, unable to sing carols together as usual, individual members have recorded their own voice parts and we are indebted to Robert Webb for splicing these videos together into Rochester Choral Society's Virtual Christmas Concert 2020.
Yule be amazed!
