BSW bring a gentle touch of winter magic to the CBSO Centre on Sunday 08 December with seasonal favourites as well exciting pieces for the concert platform to get you in the mood for Christmas!

Central to this programme is the quintessential setting of the famous Christmas poem The Night Before Christmas for narrator and concert band – it sparkles with glorious orchestration to highlight the narrator’s words throughout – a perennial audience favourite!

Opening the afternoon concert is the brilliant Festive Overture by Dmitri Shostakovich with its brass fanfares ringing out an exciting theme – equally well known is the Farandole by Georges Bizet based on The March of the Kings.

To complement these pieces, BSW have included the world premiere of All That Glistens by British composer Rob Wiffin with its tour-de-force fast woodwind writing, and the beautiful In the Bleak Midwinter by Holst. The Christmas Overture by Nigel Hess is regularly played on Classic FM every Christmas and features all your favourite seasonal carols.

Join us for an afternoon concert full of joy in the relaxed setting of the CBSO Centre and let the music transport you to a snowy, wintery wonderland.

Tickets £15, £12 concession, £9 children and students and £39 family (2 adults and 2 children).
