The University of Dundee is getting in the spirit of the Christmas season with the University's traditional nine lessons and carols service this Sunday in St Paul's Cathedral.

University Director of Music, Graeme Stevenson, will be conducting the University Choir and Chamber Choir in traditional Christmas carols. Music by composer Handel "For Unto us is Born a Son" and a carol specially written for the University by Christopher Tambling "Lute Book Lullaby" are among the many festive songs to be sung.

University Chaplain, Rev Dr Fiona Douglas will welcome the congregation and special guest Rt Rev Vincent Logan, Bishop of Dunkeld and Very Rev Miriam Byrne will be attending the ceremony.

All proceeds from the collection on Sunday will go to the St Paul's Disabled Access Fund.

The Principal of the University of Dundee, Sir Alan Langlands and Lady Elizabeth Langlands invite the congregation for mince pies and mulled wine in St Roque's Hall after the service.

The carol service will take place in St Paul's Cathedral, High Street, Dundee on Sunday 9 December at 5pm (free admission). All are welcome to join.
