Tuesday - Petroc Trelawny

Petroc Trelawny hosts the 大象传媒 Singers live in the studio to perform the winning entry in the Carol Competition.

Breakfast with Petroc Trelawny.

Petroc Trelawny announces the winner of Radio 3's Breakfast Carol Competition.

Back in August, Breakfast listeners were challenged to compose a brand new Christmas carol to be performed by the 大象传媒 Singers live on Radio 3. Setting the words of a poem by acclaimed author Susan Hill called "Can it be true?" entries could be written in any style.

After a great response from very many talented people, the time has now arrived for the result of the voting on the six shortlisted carols. The winning entry will be performed live by the 大象传媒 Singers, who celebrate their 90th birthday this year.

The six carols were shortlisted by a panel including the Master of the Queen's Music and Associate Composer with the 大象传媒 Singers, Judith Weir, and Chief Conductor of the 大象传媒 Singers, David Hill.
