SUMS Presents: The 66th Annual Festival of Lessons and Carols

Celebrate the holiday season with the Sydney University Musical Society! 🎄

Join us for The 66th Annual Festival of Lessons and Carols, a festive evening of beautiful choral music, traditional Christmas carols and seasonal readings.

This year's programme brings together a wonderful mix of traditional favourites and beloved choral works, including Darke's arrangement of In the Bleak Midwinter and Dyson's Magnificat in C minor. You will also hear some SUMS favourites which carry this same festive cheer, such as Tabbush's Harbour and Churchill's Shame on You, Shame on Me.

And of course, Carolfest wouldn't be complete without some audience participation! You'll have the opportunity to join us in singing timeless Christmas favourites, including O Come, All Ye Faithful, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, O Little Town of Bethlehem, We Three Kings and Joy to the World.

Whether you're a longtime supporter of SUMS or joining us for the first time, we'd love to celebrate this special time of year with you.
