From the first, crisp call of dawn to the quiet hush of dusk, embark on an musical journey tracing the cycle of a single day.

This afternoon’s concert pairs breathtaking contemporary reflections with timeless choral masterworks, exploring how light, memory, and silence shift as the sun moves across the sky. Experience the fiery brilliance of Georgy Sviridov’s Reveille and the radiant simplicity of Meredith Monk’s Dawn, contrasted against the contemplative depth of Max Richter’s iconic On the Nature of Daylight (reimagined in Geoff Lawson’s arrangement).

As twilight descends, the programme turns inward: from the rich, dramatic textures of Richard Strauss’s Der Abend and Zoltán Kodály’s beloved Esti dal to the tender solace of Joanna Marsh’s Evening Prayer and traditional lullabies from Poland and Norway (Bibi, Synku, bi and Gjendines bådnlåt).

Entry is free (retiring collection).

Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with its jubilant opening chorus, tender arias and radiant orchestral writing captures the wonder and joy of the season. Under the leadership of Adrian Butterfield, one of Britain’s leading Baroque specialists and co-founder of the London Handel Festival, the London Handel Players and Pegasus bring this masterpiece to life with period instruments, stylistic authenticity and vivid expression. Their performances at the BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall and major European venues have earned praise for clarity, elegance and artistry.

Few works capture the spirit of Christmas with such brilliance and joy as JS Bach’s Christmas Oratorio (Weihnachtsoratorium), BWV 248, one of the crowning achievements of Baroque sacred music. This monumental creation, composed in 1734, comprises six cantatas, each originally written for a different feast day of the season between Christmas Day and Epiphany. It combines resplendent choruses, expressive arias, and vivid orchestration to celebrate the Nativity story with both majesty and intimacy. It takes listeners on a luminous journey through the key events surrounding the birth of Christ – from the joyous opening “Jauchzet, frohlocket!“, blazing with trumpets and timpani, to scenes of tender lullabies, pastoral stillness, and exuberant fanfares that capture the wonder, drama and radiance of the season. As is common practice, four of the six cantatas will be performed.

A festive, uplifting, and unforgettable celebration – the perfect musical centrepiece for Christmas at Grayshott.
