The St Albans Choral Society closes its 2026 programme with traditional carols from across Europe.
St Albans Choral Society bring their 2026 programme to a close at St Peter's Church on Saturday 19 December, with a concert they've titled A European Christmas. It's their final outing of the year, and they're spending it on carols from across the Continent.
That's the core of it: traditional carols gathered from different European countries. The society has made a point of including material that doesn't often make it into British carol services, so you'll hear things that aren't the usual suspects. It's a good way to see how the Christmas tradition changes as you move across the map, rather than just sticking to the ones we all know by heart.
St Peter's Church is at the north end of St Peter's Street, a historic Church of England building that doubles as a venue for concerts, family activities and community events. The society has a long history there; they marked their 300th concert in the church with a programme of French and English choral music by Fauré, Boulanger, Holst, McDowall and Vaughan Williams, so this is well-trodden ground for them.
