As the cold and bleak winter days descend upon us, the Quadriga Consort presents longforgotten carols and age-old tunes of the festive season. With its arrangements for period instruments, the ensemble brings you a programme that is at times peaceful and reflective, and then again merry and buoyant, conjuring memories of bygone days and awakening in us that sense of peace, wonder and excitement the Christmas season once held.
