Nine Lessons & Carols at Ely Cathedral – Monday 8th December 2025
I am delighted to inform you that on Monday 8th December 2025, the Music Department will be presenting our annual Nine Lesson & Carols performance at Ely Cathedral. This evening will consist of a range of music (congregational carols, reflective choral and instrumental performances) and ‘lessons’ (secular and sacred readings). This is third time we will be using this beautiful space as our venue for this event and we are extremely fortunate to have professional musicians joining us to commemorate this occasion, including Prime Brass and our piano teacher Stephen Hession.
The event will start at 7pm, with doors opening from 6.30pm for people to take their seats. The event will finish at around 8pm.
There will be a separate letter sent out to all parents and carers of students who are performing to seek permission for their involvement in the event and to outline further details with regards to rehearsals.
Tickets
We would love for parents, guardians, siblings, family, staff, students and the wider Ely College community to join us and support this event. This event is not ticketed and seats are not allocated, however, if you would like to make a voluntary donation in place of a ticket fee, you can do this through MCAS. Any donations will be split equally between the Music Department and Ely Food Bank charity.
There will be no requirement to show any physical tickets at the venue and we will not be running a check-in desk as we have previously.
This event will be a lovely opportunity to celebrate Christmas as a college and to enjoy some wonderful music and readings performed by our students. Thank you for your continued support of Music events at Ely College and we hope to see you at this event.
Yours faithfully,
Miss Arnold
Subject Leader For Music
