A new look for our Christmas concert this year. We’ve assembled eight of the country’s finest brass players to raise the rafters with music designed to celebrate the Season in suitably joyful fashion. From old masters such as Palestrina, Gabrieli and Bach through to Tchaikovsky, Holst and John Williams – as well as a couple of specially commissioned pieces – we’ll be well set up for the festivities to come.
