Bournemouth Symphony Chorus performed to two packed houses at the Lighthouse Poole before Christmas

These were in a highly regarded Handel Messiah under Simon Halsey, and a Celebration of Christmas Carols under Matthew Wood. A highlight of the latter was a performance of Adam's "O Christmas Night" in which the soprano solo was taken by BSC singer Margaret Burdett. A large audience also heard the Chorus, and the Bournemouth Youth Symphony Chorus, give a varied programme of Christmas music in St John's Church, Boscombe. This was the first occasion at which the Chorus was conducted by its new Chorus-Master, Gavin Carr.
