The concert is scheduled for 5 December at Westminster Abbey.
A statement shared by the Palace, via People, revealed details about the service’s theme and participants:
“Combining traditional and modern elements to encompass people of all faiths and none, the service will see the world-renowned Westminster Abbey choir sing some of the nation’s most beloved carols, alongside musical performances and readings by guests including Hannah Waddingham, Dan Smith, Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor.”
“The Service will also showcase stories of some of the incredible guests in the congregation, who are leading by example and helping to create a more connected society.”
They continued by describing the heart of this year’s message:
“This year, the Service will bring people together to celebrate love in all its forms—whether it’s love within families, through friendships, across communities or even through powerful moments of connection with strangers. In a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, love is the force that reconnects us all—spanning generations, communities, cultures and faiths.”
“As we approach the Christmas season, we are reminded of the power of togetherness. The evening will highlight the transformative power of investing in one another with compassion, presence and joy.”
