BBC Music Christmas 2023

This festive season we're off to King's College, Cambridge, to celebrate the timeless appeal of the college's world-famous choir. As the historic ensemble celebrates the 95th anniversary of its much-loved Nine Lessons and Carols radio broadcasts, Amanda Holloway meets their music director Daniel Hyde.

Staying on a King's theme, Andrew Green remembers Boris Ord, the choirmaster who did so much to make the Cambridge choir the world-renowned institution it is today. And, remaining with all things festive, Jeremy Pound gives us his 15 Christmas music essentials, from Handel's Messiah to, er, prog-rock behemoth Greg Lake.
