The Choristers of St Mary the Virgin, Merton Park, will be performing Britten’s "‘Ceremony of Carols’ alongside the Gaia Singers, and harpist Anwen Mai Thomas, on home turf at St Mary’s. The 25-strong cohort are all trained weekly at St Mary’s, and soloists will come from within the choir.

The Gaia Singers are a recently-formed trio, consisting of Elizabeth Howard, Natalie Dalcher, and Martha Littlehales. They performed at St Mary’s during the summer, and are back to sing alongside the choristers.

Anwen Mai Thomas is a recent graduate of the Royal Academy of Music (with Distinction), and a professional harpist from Wales. She gained the ‘Foyle Future First’ Harp position with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the 2023-24 season, and has performed with groups including the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Sinfonia Smith Square.
