Christmas carol service

After two long years, it was wonderful to join together again last Thursday for our annual carol service at St Giles, with music provided by pupils from year 5 to year 13. There was something for everyone, from the beautiful candlelit Advent Prose, the junior choir’s lively rendition of ‘The Holly and the Ivy’, to the more modern Christmas classic ‘It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year’ from the senior choir.  It was the perfect chance to showcase our organ students, Maranatha W and Emilie P, who performed alongside their organ tutor Anne Marsden Thomas.  Lastly, we were delighted to be joined by an enthusiastic congregation of parents who, despite wearing masks, were more than happy to sing out Christmas favourites including ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ & ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’. It was an enchanting and festive evening.
