Advent Carol Service
29 November 2025 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm
We are delighted that, once again, University Music Chamber Choir (formed from singers from Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth) will be providing the music for our Advent Carol Service on Saturday 29th November at 4.30pm in St Peter’s Church, Dorchester. Moving from darkness to light, the service will include choral music by Anna Lapwood, Anton Bruckner, Sally Beamish and John Tavener (amongst many others) and traditional Advent hymns for all to sing. Do come and support these fantastic young singers at this free event.
