Find reflection, comfort and ceremony at Bangkok Music Society's afternoon of Britten carols
The Bangkok Music Society is setting the tone for the season with an afternoon built around reflection, comfort and a touch of ceremony. The programme centres on A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten, whose work still feels quietly radical in the way it balances innocence with modern edge. Hearing it live has a way of slowing the mind, the kind of pause many of us forget to take in December. Alongside Britten’s piece, the choir will perform both familiar and lesser-known Christmas works, stitched together to create a gentle passage from one year to the next. It is the sort of concert that offers a pocket of warmth in the middle of the city, perfect for anyone craving stillness, beauty and a reminder that the season can be soft as well as bright.
December 7. B400-800 via here. Oriental Residence Bangkok, 4pm
