‘Christemas Past’ with The Telling in candlelight

St Paul’s Worthing on Wednesday December 19 (8pm)

  • “beautifully borne” Sean Rafferty, BBC Radio 3
  • “sung with perfection that is heart-stopping” Worthing Herald
  • “We flew back over 700 years to the strumming of a harp, a candle’s flicker and exquisite, plaintive song” The Latest

Medieval English and later European carols in a special authentic ambience and period atmosphere in Worthing’s most responsive performing space.

A stimulating eve-of-Christmas vocal event.

Tomorrow (Dec 8), The Telling are live on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Saturday Live’, from 9am. They’ll perform a traditional Catalan carol from Spain (‘El Noi de la Mare’) and an English medieval one (‘Lullay, My Child’). Both will be in their Worthing Concert.
