The Faculty of Advocates Choir performs its Christmas carol concert in Edinburgh this Sunday, marking its 21st anniversary. As in all previous years, the Christmas concert will be in aid of the Edinburgh City Mission and its work with homeless people.The event, held each year since the choir was established in 1996, takes place in the city’s Queen’s Hall.

Under the musical and artistic direction of advocate Neil Beynon and Sheriff Ross Macfarlane QC, the choir has previously performed at St Peter’s in Rome, St Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Notre Dame in Paris and Off-Broadway in New York.

Sheriff Macfarlane said: “We urge people to come along on Sunday evening and experience the real spirit of Christmas – hear the carols we all love, and help raise money for a very well deserving cause.

“The Faculty Choir has performed in wonderful venues around the world, but our carol concert in Edinburgh will always be the most special.”
