Our 2024 Christmas programme celebrates the Mother of Christmas, with works that range from traditional carols and hymns to Mary, to impressive contemporary works and a new commission by Sixteen alto Kim Porter.

A Mother’s Love: Amsterdam

Municipal Theater Nijmegen

Christmas is a time for families and old friends – for well-loved tunes and good cheer. But it’s also a time of mystery and wonder: of silent nights, and sounds that echo across centuries. We’re delighted to be back at The Apex this Yuletide for two nights of beauty, wonder and seasonal joy. From medieval carols to visionary modern masterpieces, it all takes its inspiration from the story at the heart of the season: a baby in a stable, surrounded by simply heavenly singing.
