Every year on Christmas Eve listeners around the world tune in to hear The Choir of King’s College sing much-loved carols, in a glorious display of the British choral tradition stretching back 500 years.

Now this historic ensemble comes to Australia to perform transcendent works for choir and organ at Perth Concert Hall.

It’s not all heavenly voices: just as boys grow up and voices change, the Choir’s work evolves across the generations.

Integral to their performance is a work commissioned from Australian composer Damian Barbeler, working with a text by Judith Nangala Crispin (a descendent of the Bpangerang people), which weaves a new tapestry from the threads of history, a dialogue in radiant song.
