Reeds School Christmas Carol Service
at 3pm Guildford Cathedral
Guildford Surrey
on 15th December 2002

Surrey Brass is delighted to be joining with their hosts, Reeds School, for the School Carol Service. This celebration includes the entire student body of Reeds School, parents, old Reedonians, and the numerous supporters of the school. In most years the service attracts a congregation of well over a thousand people, filling the nave of Guildford Cathedral almost to capacity - a very popular event!

The programme will contain a mixture of traditional Christmas music, (including carols with audience), Christmas Readings, music by Reeds students, and music for choir, brass and organ.

Surrey Brass will play seasonal music and fanfares in partnership with the Chapel Choir of Reeds School, directed by Lindsay Macaulay.

Reed's Chapel Choir consists of up to 30 voices of all ages, and it sings regularly in the School chapel, as well as giving many concerts locally and in such venues as Guildford, Southwark and Arundel Cathedrals, and Hampton Court Palace. Each year it joins forces with the Reed's Choral Society, which includes parents, friends and staff, to perform a major choral work. These have included Vivaldi's Gloria, Purcell's Te Deum and Jubilate, Haydn's Requiem, and Carmina Burana at the Fairfield Hall Croydon with the Young Musicians' Symphony Orchestra.

 This service, held within the vast spaces of  Surrey's Cathedral, is a wonderful way to join in Christmas celebrations for 2002.
