Carol service at Old Royal Naval College open to all
The University of Greenwich and Trinity College of Music are holding a carol service on Friday, December 5, 2008 at 7pm. The service of lessons and carols offers an opportunity for everyone to celebrate Christmas in the stunning venue of The Chapel of St Peter and St Paul, courtesy of the Greenwich Foundation, at the Old Royal Naval College.
Leading the congregation in traditional carols including favourites Once In Royal David’s City and O Little Town of Bethlehem will be the University of Greenwich Choir.
The university’s Music Director, Nicholas Jenkins, believes that the service is a chance for all on campus to come together with the public in the build up to Christmas. He says: “It is an absolutely wonderful event and we are very fortunate to have the glorious setting of the Chapel. It is brilliant that it is so warmly supported.”
Chapel doors open at 6.30pm. Admission is free and no tickets are required. Drinks and mince pies will be served afterwards in the King William Restaurant.
