‘Tis the season for sleigh rides, silent nights and saxophones...

What could be more festive than a stage packed with musicians and choirs at Christmas? How about adding some sparkling saxophone from the brilliant Jess Gillam? Sit back and enjoy glorious music with the CBSO Chorus, Youth Chorus, Children’s Chorus and CBSO SO Vocal, alongside conductor Michael Seal and the full CBSO. You're sure to leave feeling full of festive cheer!
