Carol concert by The Hammond degree students, with university choirs and soloists and traditional carol sing-alongs at Chester Cathedral.
The Hammond's degree students are taking over Chester Cathedral on Monday 7 December for Spirit of the Season, a carol concert that puts the cathedral's own music school centre stage. The Hammond is the music school based right here at the cathedral, so this is their home turf — the degree students are the ones leading the night.
It's not just the students on the bill, though. They're joined by university choirs and soloists, and the set includes traditional carol sing-alongs, so you'll be singing as much as listening. Between the student performances, the guest choirs, and the moments where the whole room joins in, it's a full evening of carols rather than a single recital. The sing-alongs are a big part of it, so if you're the type who likes to get involved, this is the one to pick.

The concert runs from 19:30 to 21:00, and it's a ticketed event at Chester Cathedral on Saint Werburgh Street, CH1 2DY. Tickets start from £14.50 including the booking fee, so it's a fairly easy one to fit into a December evening.
