NI Farmers' Choir tunes up for Kilrea and Ballymena Christmas concerts
The Farmers’ Choir is delighted to invite the public to two special seasonal events this December, celebrating Christmas through word and song.
The Christmas season begins with a traditional Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on Tuesday, December 2 at 8pm in St Patrick’s Church, Kilrea.
This reflective and uplifting evening will combine Scripture readings with carols and seasonal music, performed by the Farmers’ Choir under the direction of musical director, Barkley Thompson.
There will be a retiring offering in aid of The NI Hospice and Rural Support’s Life Beyond Charity and all are welcome in the neighbouring Church Hall to enjoy a cup of tea.
The event promises a warm and joyful start to the festive period for the entire community of Kilrea and surrounding area.
The celebrations continue the following week as the Choir presents its annual Christmas Concert on Tuesday, December 9 and Wednesday, December 10 in The Braid, Ballymena.
These concerts are renowned for their vibrant mix of traditional carols, contemporary Christmas music and audience favourites. Tickets, priced at £15, for these events in the Braid are available online at www.shapedbyseaandstone.com or at The Braid Box Office. There will be light refreshments following the concert.
With the Choir’s trademark energy and musicianship, both evenings are set to be memorable highlights of the Christmas calendar. The Farmers’ Choir warmly welcomes everyone to join them for these joyful events as they share the message and music of Christmas.
