For the 2026 Christmas concert, we will be singing a number of carols from the usual 100 Carols for Choirs (OUP) book, along with a selection of Christmas music which will be supplied in a bespoke printed booklet: The Vivace Christmas Collection 2026, and one other new carol available to hire or buy. This year's booklet will contain 9 different Christmas carols/songs, some of which you may already have in other formats, but collected together here in one booklet for convenience.
