From the Chapel of Lancing College, Sussex. Presented by Suzy Klein.

This concert of Christmas music performed by the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra and the 大象传媒 Singers concludes with Benjamin Britten's cantata St Nicolas. It presents a series of important incidents in the life of of the saint, and of the children, sailors and travellers who come into contact with him. The part of Nicolas is taken by a solo tenor, with the choirs transforming themselves into the various other characters of the drama and relating the events with the conviction of eye-witnesses, tying the story together with their prayers and praise.
