Timothy Parsons, director of music at the Cathedral, said: “We hope the people of Suffolk will join us at their Cathedral for this fun Christmas concert. After the success of last year, we’d love to see the Cathedral full of festive cheer again this year. As well as some favourite choral items from the choir you will have a chance to hear the mighty Cathedral organ play some seasonal tunes.”
