Always a jolly time and a revelation. There are so many new carols out there and we have a stunning mix this afternoon @BBCRadio3 with the @BBCSingers at King John’s one time HQ, Temple Church in the old
City. I’m there and @PennyGore1 has lots more great music, all from 2.

[Alondra de la Parra @alondradlp]

I don’t want to close 2023 without sharing “Tribute to Abdelwahab” with the stunning voice of @FatmaSaid , with whom I shared a wonderful concert this year at the Berlin Konzerthaus in March. Enjoy! 🎶

2023 Westminster Readings and Carols is a wrap! Music by @PaulMealor @JamesWhitbourn @DanForrestMusic were among the highlights! A thrill to have Levi Hernandez '99 sing the Mealor "Coronation Kyrie " with the Westminster Choir !
