In England, the tradition of choirs singing Christmas carols is a cherished part of the holiday season. Choirs, both professional and amateur, perform in various venues ranging from churches and cathedrals to public spaces and events.
One notable choir is the Choir of St. John’s College, Cambridge. They are known for their wonderfully festive Christmas carols, performing classics like ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’, ‘The Lamb’, and ‘Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day’.
Another renowned choir is the St. George’s Chapel Choir at Windsor, who have performed several times in the presence of Her Majesty and The Royal Family.
There are also unique choir events, such as the one organized by BBC Three Counties, where a group of people named Carol sang together as a Christmas choir.
Moreover, programs like “Songs of Praise” on BBC One and Classic FM’s list of the greatest Christmas carols of all time highlight the UK’s love for carols.
These choirs and their performances of Christmas carols bring joy and festive spirit to the holiday season in England. They keep the tradition alive and add to the unique charm of Christmas in the UK.
