Merry & Bright • Christmas 2025

A festive night of joy and song, featuring beautiful Christmas choral music from around the world.

Join CORO 94 for their legendary annual Christmas concert – an unmissable date in your December diary!
The year the choir bring you ‘Merry and Bright ‘ : a theme which has inspired a wonderfully vibrant, uplifting and eclectic programme of festive gems!

From timeless classics to cool modern arrangements; from folk to gospel and back via Hollywood, and even a dash of indie pop… There really will be something for everyone to enjoy in this unique musical treasure trove! 

So sit back and relax while Coro serenade you this Christmastime; let the craziness of the outside world fade away for a couple of hours, and feel your spine tingle with the pure joy of beautiful voices singing just for you. 

PROSECCO INTERVAL – We’ll also be serving complimentary glasses of prosecco in the interval! Because you can never have too much sparkle in December.


Highlights of this very special programme will include:  

 •  Lully, Lulla, Lullay   (Stopford)  • Halcyon Days   (Melissa Dunphy)
• White Winter Hymnal  (Fleet Foxes)    • For Him All Stars Have Shone (Bob Chilcott)
 •  In The Bleak Midwinter   (arr. Abbie Betinis)   •    O Lux Beata Trinitas    (Andrej Makor)
