Experience the warmth and joy of Christmas with a concert devoted to the best traditional carols ever written. Join in the singing with the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus and Youth Chorus. Favourites include O Come All Ye Faithful, Good King Wenceslas, Sussex Carol, In The Bleak Midwinter, Joy To The World, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. With a selection of Christmas music including Teresa Barlow’s new setting of Carol Ann Duffy’s poem, The Christmas Truce, the evening is the perfect way to start the Christmas holiday in the company of family and friends, and a good-old, sing-along.

Tickets are almost gone for this concert so why not join us for another of our choral Christmas celebrations? On Saturday 14 December, we’ll be playing along to a screening of The Snowman – at 3pm and 7pm – alongside BSO Voices!
