Echoes of Christmas Concert - Opus 48 Choir

Christmas with Opus 48 is always a highlight of the Oxford musical calendar. This year’s programme, Echoes of Christmas, brings together carols and seasonal choral works spanning five centuries - from the serene purity of Renaissance polyphony to the warmth and sparkle of modern settings.

You can expect familiar favourites, reimagined classics, and lesser-known treasures, all performed with Opus 48’s trademark blend of precision and expressive colour. Alongside these is the premiere of a newly commissioned carol for 2025, adding a fresh voice to the long tradition of festive music-making.

Performed in the historic University Church of St Mary the Virgin, with its festive atmosphere and resounding acoustics, this concert promises to be an evening of reflection, celebration, and joy. Whether you come to savour the rich heritage of Christmas music or simply to immerse yourself in the festive spirit, Echoes of Christmas will be the perfect start to the season.
