The Pakefield Singers: A Christmas Celebration

  • Church of St Peter and St John, Kirkley Rectory Road Lowestoft, England, NR33 0ED United Kingdom (map)

The Pakefield Singers present A Christmas Celebration, fundraising for Lowestoft’s Britten as a Boy statue. Britten’s Ceremony of Carols will form the centrepiece, along with works by other composers, living locally, including Alexander Campkin.

The choir’s patron, Zeb Soanes (Classic FM) will present the concert and read his children’s story Gaspard’s Christmas, with its carol by Jonathan Dove and live illustration by James Mayhew. There will be a chance to win James’ beautiful artwork in the interval raffle.

Pakefield Singers is proud to support Britten as a Boy, a community project to erect an inspiring statue of the composer, as a boy, opposite his childhood home in Lowestoft. Full details about the project at www.brittenasaboy.com
