Annunciation Choir 1 Nina Emett ©
The Annunciation Choir, directed by Marcia Bellamy, performs the ancient Greek hymn Phos Hilaron - "Hail the Gladdening Light" - for The Evening Vigil, a ceremony celebrated by the Eastern and Western Churches for many centuries but now rarely performed. 

The Choir combines ancient and modern music and texts to welcome the light into the world, including works by Stainer & Morley, and the premiere of anthem, Annunciation, with words by Stephen Plaice and music by Marcia Bellamy.

An evening of candlelit procession, incense, and choral music, with a distinctly mystical feel.
