A special festive evening of music takes over Manchester Cathedral tonight (Thu 5 Dec), as the Lord Mayo’rs annual Christmas Carol Concert returns.
Taking place from 7pm – 8pm, and introduced by the Very Reverend Rogers Govender MBE, Dean of Manchester, the concert is free to attend and tea, coffee and mince pies will be served after the service.
The annual Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carol Concert is a decades’ old tradition in the city, with roots that may even go back over a century. Traditionally held in the Great Hall of Manchester’s Grade 1 Listed Town Hall, the seasonal service has been given a temporary home at the Cathedral whilst the renovation work on the Town Hall is completed.
As well as being invited to join in with much-loved Christmas carols from O Little Town of Bethlehem, We Three Kings and Once in Royal David’s City to Ding Dong Merrily on High and Deck the Halls, concertgoers will also be treated to several special performances during the evening.
Performers include the choir of St John Fisher and Thomas More RC Primary School in Benchill, the New Horizons Choir, Manchester Cathedral Voluntary Choir, and Blackley Brass Band
