NEXT CONCERT

This year’s Christmas Concert presents a festive and imaginative celebration of the season. It opens with Leroy Anderson’s sparkling A Christmas Festival weaving together beloved carols such as Joy to the World, Silent Night, and Jingle Bells. Adding a touch of magic and fantasy, the orchestra performs Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, best known from Disney’s Fantasia. The evening also features selections from Prokofiev’s Cinderella, bringing to life the charm of this timeless fairy tale, and also includes other Christmas favourites, Sleigh Ride, Troika, Merry Jazzed-Up Christmas and Christmas carols.
We are delighted to welcome Jasper Lecon to conduct the concert.
