CAPPELLA NOVA
Christmas concerts are so numerous this year that the choice is bewildering. Tried, tested and always a favourite is Cappella Nova’s Carols by Candlelight. It has everything you could ever want in a carol concert. Singers with glowing faces and voices, shiny brass instruments to accompany them, lots of flickering candles and, best of all, the chance for the audience to sing their hearts out to familiar Christmas words and music. First Brass are the guests and we’re even told that there is still space for a few surprises in this special concert forming part of Cappella Nova’s 21 st anniversary celebrations. (Carol Main)
