In a characteristically busy Christmas period, the Choir of King’s College Cambridge travelled to Santa Cecilia, Rome and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw in December, returning home to perform their annual carol concert at the Royal Albert Hall (accompanied by the Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus) and to give a seasonal concert at the newly renovated Town Hall in Birmingham. On Christmas Eve 2008 King's College Choir gave the 90th Nine Lessons and Carols service in the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge. This tradition began in December 1918 as an antithesis to World War I and has been broadcast annually by the BBC since 1928, this year's service being the 80th BBC broadcast. King's College are very proud to be continuing their relationship with the BBC and the Nine Lessons and Carols service has become an integral part of Christmas to millions of listeners around the world.
