Viennese Christmas Spectacular

Sat 16 December 19:30 21:30

🎄 A stellar programme of Viennese classics in celebration of the festive season 
🎻 Stunning performances from the highly acclaimed London Concertante
✨ Perfect option for first-time classical concert-goers
⛪ The beautiful St. Philip’s Cathedral gently illuminated by candlelight 

Always a winning concert, with a combination of pieces that our audience loves, this concert celebrates the magic of Christmas and brings people together for a sensational evening of wonderful music.

Tchaikovsky’s elegant Nutcracker Suite leads on from Brahms’ serious Hungarian Dance No. 5, before Strauss II introduces us to the boundless exuberance of the Polish March in his Trisch-Trasch Polka. In the concert’s penultimate work Tchaikovsky transports the evening to the magical halls of snowy Tsarist Russia with a regal waltz from his ballet Sleeping Beauty. The evening reaches its climax with the famous Blue Danube Waltz, not only proving the crowning jewel of a fabulous night’s worth of music, but the coronation of Johann Strauss II as the master of the Viennese waltz.
