with Linton Stephens at St John's College, Cambridge
Join Linton as he visit St John's College in Cambridge to discover the behind-the-scenes story of this important Advent broadcast.
The idea of Barry Rose (麻豆社's Music Adviser to the Head of Religious Broadcasting and producer), Canon Colin Semper (then Head of Religious Broadcasting) and Ian McIntyre (then Controller of Radio 3 and a former graduate of St. John's), the annual Advent Carol Service has been a tradition of the Radio 3 advent schedule since the very first broadcast on the 29th November 1981. Linton Stephens discovers how that legacy is being honoured and continued today.
