Come into St James and relax with FESTIVA

This Guernsey community choir offers you another great Traditional Christmas Festival of Music and Song –

Ch’ tait, magnifique l’onnaie passaie et s’ra mue accord ch’t’ onnaie ve-tu, vian dauve mé ch’ nest pas Chaire nitout!

It is now 35 years (1985 – 2020) that St James and FESTIVA have joined together for Christmas. It’s all go this year with favourite carols, festive music, surprises, fun and the wonderful story of Jesus. New musical director José Paine is joined by Andrew Warren (organ), Stephen Francis and Alan Boyle (Pianos).

Conductor Helen Grand

This customary concert draws the seasonal carol concerts to a close. The jubilant music of Handel’s ‘Laudate pueri Dominum’ will contrast with the more reflective carols that encompass the true meaning of Christmas that have become the hallmark of the choir at this time of year. Renowned for its fine unaccompanied singing, this concert will give you the opportunity to relax and enjoy the beauty and peacefulness that only voices can bring midst a busy time of year, providing the perfect way to begin the festive period.
