Noël – a concert by candlelight
Details
Pianist Alex Wilson is inviting audiences to join him on a musical tour through the songs and folk traditions of Europe at Christmas. We will explore the Christmas story and revel in the excitement of Christmas Eve; we will sing, bake and dance our way through nearly 300 years of musical storytelling.
Our journey features traditional celebrations from the UK to Romania, taking in Italy, Denmark and everywhere in between. We will hear new music by Sadie Harrison based on beautiful seasonal melodies from Ukraine, and an intimate retelling of the Christmas story using traditional French carols.
Poignant, simple melodies and lively, celebratory sound worlds, shining light on beautiful music that deserves to be heard. This is Christmas described in soft, delicate tones – without sleigh bells and tinsel but full of discovery, familiarity and warmth.
