Come Carolling in Surbiton : Christmas Chilcott : Mary Mother
At 7.30pm on Saturday 14 December 2024 at St Andrew’s Church Maple Road, Surbiton, KT6 4DS Kingston Choral Society presents their ever-popular Christmas carol concert.
The KCS annual carol concert traditionally features Kingston’s favourite choir performing something old, something new - and a couple of surprises. In the first half the choir will perform popular contemporary composer Bob Chilcott’s Mary Mother. This poignant and melodic piece imagines the personal story of the young girl who was visited by an angel and gave birth to a miraculous child two millennia ago.
Throughout the concert the audience is invited to join in the festive cheer, singing familiar Christmas carols along with the choir.
The KCS Christmas concert is always a jolly event, and the interval is a splendid opportunity to catch up with family and friends while enjoying mince pies, wine and soft drinks.
However bleak the midwinter, this special evening is guaranteed to be warm and wonderful. The programme is created and conducted by KCS musical director, Andrew Griffiths and the choir is accompanied by Gavin Roberts at the organ.

Handel’s Israel in Egypt is one of Handel’s most lavish and dramatic oratorios. Unusually, the soloists’ contributions are secondary as the choir is given the starring role in the turbulent narrative, relating the story of the Biblical plagues, the Israelites’ flight from Egypt via the parting of the Red Sea, and their triumph over the Pharaoh’s army. The plot unfolds in a series of thrilling and startlingly inventive choruses.
It is fitting that KCS should introduce their 75th Anniversary season with a Handel oratorio. The formation of what was originally the Surbiton Oratorio Society was inspired by the desire of the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kingston to stage a monumental performance of Handel’s Messiah in the borough by bringing together Church and other c... less
