A Festive Tale: The Story of Christmas Music

Speaker: Raymond Holden

Christmas would not be Christmas without music. And the story of what we perform, listen to and share at that most festive of seasons is both fascinating and transformative. Using carefully chosen sound recordings and film clips, this lecture will trace the history and impact of Christmas music from its Roman roots to the present day.

Mulled wine and mince pies will be served after the lecture and please remember to bring CASH to purchase tickets for the Christmas raffle.
