Annual Salisbury Christmas carol concert by the St John Singers, with carols to sing along to and wine and mince pie in the interval.
St John Singers are back with The Magic of Christmas at St Thomas's Church on Tuesday 15 December, starting at 7.30 pm. It's their annual Salisbury carol concert, and this year it holds a bit more weight than usual: it closes out the choir's 50th anniversary year. The proceeds go to local and national charities, so it's a night that does some good as well as sounding good.
The programme usually follows a familiar, comforting pattern. They mix in beautiful, lesser-known choir carols alongside the traditional favourites that everyone knows, and they invite the audience to sing along with those, so you're not just sitting and listening — you're part of it. There's an interval, too, where they put out wine and mince pies, which is a nice way to stretch your legs and chat before the second half kicks in.
As for the choir itself, the St John Singers are a group of people who sing choral music in aid of local and national charities. This particular concert is their big annual Salisbury tradition, and since it's the final one of their 50th anniversary year, it's a fitting way to wrap up the milestone. The whole thing is held at St Thomas's Church, in St Thomas's Square, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 1BA.
