Stephen Mangan kicks off the festive season and presents the first of three festive concerts at Symphony Hall! You’ll hear your favourite Christmas carols performed by the full CBSO and our whole family of choirs.

If you’re new to our annual Choral Christmas tradition, expect carols, festive tunes and plenty of Christmas cheer – you'll even get the chance to join in!

About Choral Christmas

CALMING, COMFORTING & FEEL-GOOD

'Mood markers' have been carefully assigned to each concert by CBSO Music Director Kazuki Yamada, visiting soloists and conductors, orchestra members and audiences.

If you’re new to this music or wanting to introduce it to a friend or family member, we hope that these badges help both signpost you towards the concerts that are perfect for you and encourage you to try something that you might not otherwise have considered.

So, whatever you’re in the mood for this season – you’re invited to discover your perfect music mix with us.

Programme to include...

  • Ding Dong Merrily on High, Good King Wenceslas, O Come All Ye Faithful, In the Bleak Midwinter, Hark the Herald, Sussex Carol, Sleigh Ride and Feliz Navidad.
