Sydney Antiphony presented "Mysterium - Music for Christmas" on 18 December 2015 at St Canice's Church, Sydney. The programme explored centuries’ worth of music inspired by the mystery and joy of the Nativity, and featured some of our favourite carols and composers, including the group's own Owen Elsley. This playlist features some of the highlights of that concert.
