Peace be to you: Christmas 1918 - 2018
Friday 14th December 2018 Keble College Chapel, Oxford Our Christmas concert in 2018 explored music by composers whose lives were touched by war. In this centenary year of the armistice, we drew together carols and readings which embody the Christmastide desire for peace on earth. |
