THE EPIPHONI CONSORT IN A<br />
CELEBRATION OF CAROLS<br />
Award-winning Epiphoni Consort will<br />
perform their ever-popular concert of<br />
traditional carols, festive readings, close<br />
harmony arrangements and audience<br />
participation on Friday 9 December, this<br />
year a stone's throw from Piccadilly<br />
Circus, in the heart of West End.<br />
Described by last year's promoter as<br />
‘a winning formula’, and rapturously<br />
received by a sell-out crowd, this event<br />
is certain to be London's big choral<br />
attraction of the year this festive season.<br />
Conductor Tim Reader said: ‘20<strong>16</strong><br />
has been a great year for us – we've<br />
appeared on BBC TV, performed at The<br />
Barbican for Terry Pratchett's memorial,<br />
and recorded our debut CD. We can't<br />
Epiphoni Consort.<br />
wait to top it off with a truly uplifting<br />
selection of carols and readings,<br />
designed to give everyone that special<br />
Christmas feeling, and in one of<br />
London's finest churches!'<br />
A Grade 1 Listed building, St James’s<br />
Church, Piccadilly dates from the <strong>16</strong>80’s<br />
and was designed by Christopher Wren<br />
(architect of St Paul's Cathedral).<br />
This year's programme features the<br />
very special treat of Britten’s Ceremony<br />
of Carols for women's chorus, soloists<br />
and harp – a stunning and atmospheric<br />
piece of music. Alongside arrangements<br />
of many of the nation's favourite carols,<br />
the programme features the music of<br />
Howells, Panufnik, Gjeilo, Bednall,<br />
Rathbone and many more. Wine will be<br />
served in the interval.<br />
Tickets £15 at the door. St James’s<br />
Church, Piccadilly, is at 197 Picadilly,<br />
W1J 9LL. Further details at the website<br />
