About this event
Artists Ex Cathedra Jeffrey Skidmore Conductor Rupert Jeffcoat Organ Overview Step out of the winter rush and into the still, warm glow of candlelight. In Jeffrey Skidmore’s final season, expect beautiful seasonal music, a sprinkling of favourite carols, and readings to make you smile and reflect - all revealing the quiet magic of Christmas. Encounter the mystery as well as the merriment as Ex Cathedra brings these much-loved concerts to the University of Birmingham’s stunning “cathedral of learning” for the first time. Once experienced, they’re never forgotten. Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment. Each half of this concert will be performed as an uninterrupted sequence, and the atmosphere will be quiet and still for extended periods. Audiences usually reserve applause for the end of each half. Ex Cathedra is a B:Music Associate Artist. See the full season here
