About this event

O Rex Gentium: carols for the coming king is on Saturday 19 December 2026 at Farm Street Church, London, with doors at 19:00. Entry is free, booked through the official seller.

Chris joins us following 14 years with the Grammy Award-winning King’s Singers, during which he performed on the world’s great stages and worked with singers and musicians across the globe. He also has a longstanding musical relationship with Epiphoni, having coached the choir and worked with the emerging conductors on our training programme. We’re delighted to welcome him back – this time to conduct us in concert. At the heart of the programme is Bob Chilcott’s atmospheric Advent Antiphons, a setting of the ancient “O Antiphons” that look towards the coming of Christ at Christmas. Around them, we’ll sing much-loved carols, newer seasonal music and a few Christmas favourites – an evening designed to send you out into December feeling properly festive. The singing and merriment won’t be confined to the church! We’ll begin and end the evening next door at the Punch Bowl pub, with carols before and after the concert. The pub is holding tables for Epiphoni audience members who would like to eat beforehand; just call 020 7493 6841 and mention the concert when booking.

Green Note · London

Bow & Bellows are a stunningly versatile violin, horn and accordion duo. They play and sing their own compelling arrangements of Klezmer, Balkan and Gypsy music with occasional sorties to savour the musical traditions of other countries. Sally Davies and Martina Schwarz met in 2000 whilst providing the music for a touring theatre production and formed the duo soon afterwards. Since then they have had a steady stream of engagements both, for private functions and in a wide variety of venues, ranging from cafes, folk clubs, embassies, festivals, to the National Theatre Foyer and the Purcell Room.
