Based on medieval poems, A Ceremony of Carols is one of Britten’s most loved works, composed for the delicate ensemble of upper voices, soloists and harp. So close to the end of term this festive Nachtmusik looks ahead to the long-awaited Christmas holiday.
This event is free and is followed by Sung Compline at 9.45pm
Anyone, whether a Trinity member or not, is welcome at the TCMS concerts.
The Chapel, which dates from the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I, is the centre of religious life for the College. There are regular services and the Chapel is also used for concerts.
The Chapel was completed in 1567, and all the statues here are of famous people who studied at Trinity, including Sir Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon and Alfred Lord Tennyson. The painting at the east end depicts St Michael binding Satan.
