The choristers led by Choir Director Samuel Gnanaraj, in groups and solo, sang Christmas favourites such as ‘Angels from the realms of glory,’ ‘May you be blessed,’ ‘The First Noel,’ ‘Jesus, what a wonderful child,’ ‘It’s so still in Bethlehem,’ Sing Noel, Alleluia,’ and ended the evening with ‘Silent night.’
The choir also sang a few Tamil carols - ‘ Sudhan pirandhar,’ ‘Unnadha maindhan’ and ‘Maasilla Devaputhiran.’
