The 18th Annual University Staff Carol Service will take place on Tuesday 11 December at 3.30pm at Great St Mary's, the University Church. University staff, along with their friends and families, are all very warmly invited.
The service will feature traditional Christmas carols and readings for the season, followed by a reception of holiday treats and mulled wine.
The Lucy Cavendish Singers, under the direction of Katharina Megli, will lead our seasonal music, and staff from throughout the University of Cambridge will read the lessons.
The University Church looks forward to welcoming all, particularly members of staff, and their friends and family to this highlight of the University's festive celebrations.
Great St Mary's, The University Church, is at the north end of King's Parade, facing the University's Senate House and overlooking the Market Square. The University Church was the original 'home' of the University of Cambridge, which held congregations and University meetings there since 1209. Information about the University Church and its pastoral care to University Staff can be found online at gsm.cam.ac.uk/chaplaincy
Since their first public concert in 2009, the Lucy Cavendish Singers have been capturing the hearts and minds of audiences with their vibrant performances and imaginative programmes. Performing entirely from memory, the Singers bring enormous commitment and spontaneity to their songs. The varied musical background of the individual singers supports a wide-ranging repertoire from jazz and traditional music to classical pieces.
