Friends of the Vox has planned a wonderfully-innovative event at the Gulbenkian Theatre in Canterbury on 20 December, 2025--a Come and Sing Carols with Orchestra. https://www.friendsofthevox.org/our-upcoming-events/come-and-sing-carols-with-orchestra

Designed to highlight the Arts community contributions of local composer Jacob Bride, the afternoon and evening event will bring together nearly 200 professional and amateur musicians to perform well-known Carols with innovative arrangements by Jacob.

To support this brilliant day of music, I am leading a 12-mile walk on 14 December along the Pilgrims' Way from Wye to Canterbury that we are calling "Carolling to Canterbury." My lovely wife, Alex, and several friends will be joining me for this lovely stroll through the pastoral Kent countryside that will include carol singing in the villages of Chilham and Chartham.
