A Ceremony of Carols Recording

A Ceremony of Carols

Each year, on the Saturday closest to Candlemas, the Choristers mark the end of the Christmas season with a performance of Benjamin Britten's 'A Ceremony of Carols'. This much-loved annual event is usually performed to a sell-out crowd.

In 2024, the Choristers made an audio-visual recording of their performance directed by Alexander Hamilton, the then Acting Director of Music, with Olivia Jaguers playing the harp. The recording was released on YouTube and has since been viewed over 100,000 times. You can watch the recording below.

Conductor: Alexander Hamilton
Harpist: Olivia Jageurs
Audio Producer: Barry Rose

Recorded in Wells Cathedral, 17-19 June 2024, thanks to the generous support of Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust and the Choir Schools’ Association. Production by David Hinitt and Classical Films (www.classicalfilms.co.uk).
