Lilium, an ensemble composed of singers from the historic Magdalene College, Oxford choir, will perform in Jersey on Saturday, January 10th. This special New Year celebration concert is organized by the local charity Music in Action, which aims to bring outstanding musical performances to the island.
The choir, boasting a rich singing tradition that began in 1480, will present a diverse program. Audiences can expect a captivating mix of close-harmony renditions of popular music, including hits from The Beatles and Elton John, as well as more traditional choral works.
This visit also highlights a personal connection, as choir member Jack Boley, aged 19, is originally from Jersey. The concerts are described as "exuberant, uplifting and fun," appealing to a broad audience, including those who may not typically attend classical music events. The ensemble will also participate in a traditional Sunday morning church service.
