Programme
Christmas with Continuum is Continuum’s fifth annual festive celebration in the beautiful Dorset town of Sherborne. The evening brings together a rich offering of choral music celebrating the wonder and joy of the Christmas season. Blending medieval carols, twentieth-century masterpieces and contemporary choral writing, the programme traces a path from quiet anticipation to festive celebration and much loved Christmas favourites. This is a celebration of the Nativity story in all its mystery, warmth and wonder.
