Our latest CD, priced at only £10.00, is entitled “In a cold winter’s night”. The underlying theme behind this recording is one of celebration in firstly saying thank you and goodbye to a small number of choir members and secondly to donate all sale proceeds to ‘Blood cancer UK’ formerly known as ‘Bloodwise’, for the years of pioneering research into blood cancers. This CD was launched in time for Christmas 2019 and the seasonal programme includes favourites such as Lauridsen’s ‘O magnum mysterium’ and Adolphe Adam’s ‘O holy night’ arranged by John Rutter. These are contrasted by a selection of works dating back many centuries. You can also enjoy listening to the superb sounds of the Felicitas Chamber Choir by purchasing any of our previous four CDs, now priced at only £5.00 each. For more information, visit our
