Description
A million for Macmillan! Every December since 1996, Oxford’s magnificent Christ Church Cathedral has resounded to the sound of exquisite choral music and the voices of the country’s best-known actors, performing readings to celebrate the arrival of the Christmas season. This much-loved annual event is Follow the Stars Macmillan Carols, fund-raising in support of the invaluable work of Macmillan Cancer Support, and takes place this year on Friday 11th December at 8pm. To mark our 30th anniversary, we are planning an extra-special celebration, combining nostalgic elements from our inaugural concert and the talents of the brightest stars of today to entertain and move the audience. We will have celebrity readings from Sinead Cusack, Toby Jones and Mel Giedroyc. It will be THE unmissable event of Oxford’s festive calendar and we would love you to join us, filling the cathedral with your voices alongside the world-renowned Oxford Bach Soloists. An added musical treat this year will be the presence of the celebrated tenor, Thomas Elwin. To date, thanks entirely to all those who have bought tickets over the years and the generous support of the event’s sponsors, we have raised more than £950,000 - every penny of which goes directly to improve the outcome and survival rates of those living with cancer. How wonderful would it be to be part of the evening that marks our fund-raising hitting £1 million? Macmillan Cancer Support GS
