Join the Malmesbury Singers for a magnificent "Concert for Saint Nicolas' Day" on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the historic Malmesbury Abbey. This special evening marks the beginning of the festive season with a stunning programme of choral music. The 80-strong choir, under the baton of Music Director Thomas Mottershead, will perform three major works. The concert opens with Edward Elgar’s charming "A Christmas Greeting," followed by Gerald Finzi’s serene and beautiful "In Terra Pax." The highlight of the evening will be Benjamin Britten’s dramatic cantata, "Saint Nicolas," which tells the legendary life story of the saint. The Malmesbury Singers will be joined by an array of talented musicians, including renowned soloist Richard Edgar-Wilson, the angelic voices of The Pickled Boys (choristers from Llandaff Cathedral), and the superb orchestral accompaniment of The Bristol Ensemble. This collaboration promises a rich and powerful performance, bringing these beautiful compositions to life in the stunning setting of Malmesbury Abbey. Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in an evening of festive choral music and celebrate the spirit of Saint Nicholas.
