The CLCO have been delighting Dingley audiences for over 20 years now and our year would not be complete without them.

Saturday 18th December : 7.30pm
A Celebration of Christmas with the Cecilian Singers.

The Cecilian Singers, a chamber choir of 20 mixed voices, is based in Leicester. Their broad repertoire includes music from the Renaissance to the present day. They owe much of their success to the quality of past and present Music Directors - Malcolm Goldring, Brian Kaye and currently Jeremy Jackman. The choir was formed in 1982 from a group of highly-committed singers, all having wide experience of choral singing and many with a reputation as soloists. They regularly give celebrity concerts with international stars such as Emma Kirkby and Peter Skellern, and they have also taken part in the BBC Radio 4 Daily Service. The choir has made four successful tours of Northern Germany as well as Belgium and Northern Italy and they sang for us last year with much enthusiasm.

The Celebration will take the form of our usual format of seasonal songs and amusing readings, with audience participation required in some carols.
