All welcome
Join us for candlelight carols
Always a highlight of our year at St Peter's College, we are pleased to present our annual candlelight service of readings and music for Advent and Christmas.
Carols by candlelight
MoreYou are warmly invited to join the St Peter's College Choir for our annual candlelight service of readings and music for Advent and Christmas. This service is offered on two dates (please note the slightly different times for each date).
Led by our Director of Music Quintin Beer, the Choir of St Peter’s College is one of the finest mixed-voice choirs at the University of Oxford. It comprises 25 auditioned students and has an established reputation in Oxford, and further afield, for its choral excellence and diverse repertoire. During University term, the Choir sings two Choral Evensongs in chapel per week in our beautiful and acoustically impressive College Chapel.
As with all Evensong services, the candlelight service of readings and music for Advent and Christmas is free and all are welcome to attend. However, please note that our carol services are often fully subscribed and we strongly advise you to book early to avoid disappointment at the door.
Booking will open soon.
Join the livestream
This year, we are delighted to invite alumni and friends from around the world to join us virtually for our candlelight carols service on Sunday. You can join the livestream or rewatch the service here.
