Catch the coverage of Carol’s from King’s at 11am on Christmas Day, 25 December 2015. Available to watch on BBC2 and available here on catch up with BBC iPlayer.
For more than 60 years the magical sound of a lone chorister singing the opening verse of Once in Royal David’s City in this traditional service has heralded the start of Christmas.
Broadcast from the candlelit splendour of King’s College Chapel in Cambridge, the service tells the story of the Nativity.
Carols from King’s tells the story of Christ’s birth through readings from the King James Bible and poems by Elizabeth Jennings, Thomas Merton and Christina Rossetti.
Stephen Cleobury conducts the famous chapel choir in carols old and new, including In Dulci Jubilo, Away in a Manger, Dormi Jesu, The Angel Gabriel, O Holy Night and O Come All Ye Faithful.
