Gold text reads Carols From Kantos (on red background) Congregational singing. Carols Old and New. Kantos Carol competition winner.

OF A ROSE SING WE…

For in this rose contained was, heaven and earth in little space.

This festive season, join Kantos to share the joy of Christmas and celebrate Mary, mother of God.

A concert exalting the Virgin Mary, hearing her soothing lullabies to the baby Jesus, our 2023 Carol Competition Winner, and of course, some Christmas classics and congregational carols.

Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child.
