Our Christmas Carol Service takes place by candlelight in the beautiful Holy Trinity Church, Prince Consort Rd, SW7 2BA, (at the end of Jay Mews and next to Beit Quad).
The service will be streamed live on the college’s YouTube channel.
We are delighted to have the first ever performance of a new piece of music written especially for this Carol Service. It’s called ‘Transeamus’ and is by Asher Joyce, fourth year student at the Royal College of Music. Asher is the winner of our first Carol Composition Competition.
The Competition is part of the continuing collaboration between Imperial Chamber Choir and the student composers at the RCM. During the Competition six RCM students heard their new music sung by the Chamber Choir, and Imperial’s own aspiring student composers will receive mentoring from RCM students.
There will also be prayers for family and friends, and for people and communities crying out for peace and justice. We will also be remembering those we have loved who have died and who are very much in our thoughts and minds at this time.
We hope the music and readings give you the space for reflection and celebration as you prepare for Christmas.
Please join us for wine and mince pies after the service.
