Inverurie Choral Christmas Concert: the Manchester Carols

A new retelling of the Christmas story in songs and words.
Inverurie Choral are joined by mezzo soprano and baritone soloists and a mystery guest will narrate the story between the songs."Sasha Johnson Manning's tunes are like a gift from heaven. The melodies range from hauntingly moving laments to catchy expressions of festive jollity, ranging through innocence, tenderness and foreboding to hope and reassurance. As melodies they stand as equals alongside the best of Warlock, Howells, Darke, Hadley and Rutter.
...Carol Ann Duffy gives them additional resonance [as...her] lyricist." Paul Vallely
