Sherborne Abbey

Our annual concert of choral music from across the ages celebrating Advent and the Christmas season. There will be familiar and new carols to enjoy and discover, and the concert will include the world premiere of a setting of the ancient Advent Antiphons by David Bednall, our fortieth anniversary commission – a little later than planned due to Covid, but worth the wait! Find out more about our commission here.
