Join us for a magical afternoon concert of festive music at 'Wassail! - Carol of Comfort and Joy,' performed by the Riverhouse Barn Choir under the direction of Johnny Kilhams. This Christmas concert is a celebration of the rich tradition of 'Wassail,' an ancient custom that dates back to medieval England. The word 'wassail' comes from the Old English phrase waes hael, meaning 'be well' or 'be in good health,' and it was traditionally used as a toast to wish good fortune and blessings during the Yuletide season and till today is still a beloved part of Christmas traditions, symbolising community, warmth, and joy.
In this concert, the Riverhouse Barn Choir will bring the spirit of Wassail to life through a beautiful selection of carols and holiday music, each piece chosen to evoke comfort and joy. Whether you're a fan of traditional carols or simply looking to immerse yourself in the holiday spirit, this concert promises to be a memorable experience for all.
Come and be a part of this festive afternoon concert filled with music, history, and the timeless message of goodwill. We look forward to celebrating the season with you! This is a fun and music-filled afternoon presented by Riverhouse Barn Choir for EVERYONE!
