A Special Gift for a Suffolk Christmas
Every year, Woodbridge School holds various Christmas events, concerts and services – in School and in the local community; including our traditional and wonderful Christmas Carol Service at St Mary’s Church in Woodbridge.
Meeting recently with Claire Weston, Head of Singing, she shared some special news about this year’s service,
“I’m delighted and excited to share, that John Hutchings, who is well known to the School having played for our Carol Services and Festival of Voices for the past few years, has gifted me a set of original compositions for the Chamber Choir as part of a ‘Suffolk Ceremony of Carols’.”
She continued,
“His compositions have been performed at Windsor Castle, the Vatican, and across the world, so this is an incredibly kind, generous and exciting gift to the choirs of Woodbridge School.”
Talking about the donation she added,
“I’m planning to use these compositions as part of this year’s Carol Service; it’s such an honour and a privilege to be able to share this gift with the students which has been written especially for their voices, and I’m incredibly excited about this year’s Carol Service, which will take place at St Mary’s Church on Thursday 12 December.”
A truly delightful and amazing opportunity for our students, we will share more news of rehearsals and the service itself throughout this half of the Michaelmas term.
