The BBC Singers, Principal Guest Conductor Bob Chilcott and pianist Richard Pearce perform the six shortlisted carols in this year’s BBC Radio 3 Breakfast Carol Competition.

Hundreds of amateur composers enter the competition each year, and this year entrants have set Go to the Child by the Pakistani-British poet Imtiaz Dharker. Alongside the six settings are solo works for the festive period, performed by members of the BBC Singers.
