Our 40th Anniversary Christmas Concert

Saturday 10th December, Christ Church, Cockermouth

Our Christmas Concert at Christ Church, Cockermouth was a tremendous success. A full house listened to the premiere performance of Dr. Philip Wood’s ‘A Trinity of Carols’, especially written for the choir to celebrate their 40th Anniversary. Mr Richard Bennett the choir’s founder conducted his favourite John Rutter Christmas Carol – ‘The Star Carol’ and our current Choir Director Val Hetherington ably conducted the choir through a wide selection of Christmas pieces and congregational carols with Anne-Marie Kerr accompanying. Well done everyone. Our guests for this concert were the Papcastle Wind Quintet.
