Our sixth concert was a particularly special event, as Live From London were granted permission to film The Choir of Westminster Abbey in the glorious gothic coronation church itself. “Hearing the rather more fleshed out sound of Westminster Abbey Choir after so many smaller groups in the VOCES8 Christmas series is rather a satisfying shock... A superb programme executed to the standards one associates with such a venerable venue.” Colin Clarke, Seen and Heard International. Tune into Classic FM

The Great O Antiphons are a series of short verses which count down the days to Christmas Eve. Sung at the beginning and end of the Magnificat during Evensong, each antiphon begins with a different name for Jesus. They draw on Scripture to help us learn about who Jesus will be, as predicted by the prophets. Here at Westminster Abbey, these antiphons are sung at Evensong from 16 to 23 December. As we approach Christmas Eve, we'll be sharing a recording of the verses with you on the appointed day
