Christmas Carols

’Tis the season to be jolly! The lads of The Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge sing wonderfully festive Christmas Carols. From ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ and Taveners beloved ‘The Lamb’, to the especially for the choir written hymn ‘Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day’ - enjoy five centuries of Christmas music. AVROTROS Klassiek wishes you the best of holidays and a very musical and cheerful 2018! Ding Dong! Merrily on High!
