A repeat of Christmas Eve’s “Sing Out” and celebrate the familiar words & music of Christmas with John Anderson and four great choirs, classical and traditional musicians, sacred and secular music as the ancient and the modern combine. Recorded in St Colmcille’s in Holywood, the wonderful sound of The Fermanagh Choral Society (conductor David Robertson), the Clare Chorale (conductor Sheelagh Greer), the choir of Carrickfergus Grammar School and Grosvenor (both conducted by Edward Craig) all feature some of their favourite pieces. And then the thrilling sound as the choirs combine and are joined by Stephen Hamill (organ) and Downshire Brass conducted by Michael Alcorn. The Uillean piper and multi-instrumentalist Oisín MCann brings a beautiful traditional interpretation to some of our most loved pieces. In the words of the song, Christmas may well be ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ but it is also a time of extraordinary contrasts. Particularly as the commercial world competes with the sacred message for our attention. Sing Out Christmas reflects that wonderful mixture with some popular secular favourites and some of the most beautiful profound reflections on the birth of Christ. So the invitation is . . . Sing Out Christmas with us and celebrate!
