Joyful, radiant and dramatic - Britten's vision of the Christmas spirit.

Start your Christmas season with three festive masterpieces by Benjamin Britten, as we join forces with Ex Cathedra to mark his 50th anniversary. From the precocious A Boy was Born, written aged 19 and the much-loved A Ceremony of Carols, to the vivid storytelling of Saint Nicolas - this is an unmissable festive afternoon of music that glitters and endures.
