Shoppers will be treated to the sounds of the festive season with carolling choirs performing in the city’s late-night retails hot spots in the lead up to Christmas. Through December, carols will fill the air in Pitt Street Mall every Thursday night from 6pm–8pm, and beside the Martin Place Christmas tree every night of the week from 6pm–8pm. Choirs who will serenade shoppers include Sydney Philharmonia Choir, Café of the Gate of Salvation and Endeavour Harmony as well as children’s choirs from Darlington Public School and the Australian Girls Choir. Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the City was working closely with retailers to make the Sydney Christmas shopping experience as festive and fun as possible. “The City’s Christmas choir program will help everyone get into the Christmas spirit and give retailers a boost by drawing shoppers into the city centre,” the Lord Mayor said. “Combined with our projections and Christmas lights, these choirs help create an exciting, festive atmosphere in key retail precincts like Pitt Street Mall and Martin Place. “Christmas is a wonderful time to be in Sydney and the city is the place to be.” The renowned Christmas at Sydney Town Hall concert on 15 December also guarantees a memorable night for the whole family. Held in the spectacular Centennial Hall from 8pm–9.30pm, the event is a very traditional affair of carol singing, festive music and readings complemented, by the magnificent Grand Organ.
