Overview
Since arriving as Director of Music at St John’s College Cambridge in 2023, Christopher Gray has built on rock-solid choral traditions that stretch back to the 1670s. He and his vibrant-toned choristers look forward to Christmas with a programme of seasonal delights, including enchanting recent additions to the canon by Eleanor Daley, Sally Beamish and Jonathan Dove.
