Many thanks to Mtr. Jane Trigg and the parishoners of St. John's, Corowa, for the invitation (5th consecutive year!) to the traditional Nine Lessons and Carols Service. This recording was made on December 8, 2024, at 6.00pm. As I was without singers this year, the service was modified to include a mixture of organ solos and congregational carols.
