Louth Choral Society illuminates advent with extraordinary 'Lux Aeterna' Concert
This November, the historic St James’s Church will be filled with a spectacular evening of choral music as the Louth Choral Society presents its highly anticipated Advent concert, Lux Aeterna: Out of Darkness Cometh Light.
Taking place at 7pm on Sunday, 22nd November 2026, this uplifting performance marks the arrival of the Advent season through a powerful exploration of light, hope, and renewal.
Under the expert baton of conductor Alison Willis, the choir will be accompanied by the exceptional Khrisma 4 a lincolnshire based string quartet, featuring a special guest performance by acclaimed solo soprano Kimberly Raw.
A Masterful Programme
The evening's main programme brings together two breathtaking twentieth-century masterpieces:
Francis Poulenc’s Gloria: A vibrant, deeply expressive, and joyful celebration.
Ola Gjeilo’s Sunrise Mass: A stunning, atmospheric modern work that takes listeners on a spiritual journey from darkness into luminous light.
The carefully curated repertoire also features an exquisite selection of supporting choral works, including:
Joseph Haydn’s dramatic Insanae et vanae curae
Edward Elgar’s deeply moving Lux Aeterna
John Rutter’s beautifully serene Pie Jesu
Hubert Parry’s timeless anthems Never weather-beaten sail and My soul, there is a country
