Carols & Classics: A Family-Friendly Christmas Concert

(recommended for ages 6+)

Join us on Sunday 7th December, 2.30-4pm at St Gabriel’s Church, Pimlico for our first-ever Christmas concert, specially designed for families (children 6+), with music, storytelling, and a chance to get close to the orchestra.


Expect festive favourites including Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and Prokofiev's Troika (Sleigh Ride) and a sing-along of classic Christmas carols with the orchestra. 


In the interval, enjoy a mulled wine and “meet the orchestra” - our players will be around the venue, ready to showcase their instruments to any curious little ones.


At our concerts, it’s not just about listening, it’s about getting closer to the music. Our conductor, Alexander Conway, chats to the audience throughout, sharing the stories behind the music, what to listen out for, and even demonstrating moments live with the orchestra. 


We believe that classical music is for everyone. Our concerts are designed to be accessible, enjoyable, and inclusive, welcoming audiences of all backgrounds.
