Get into the Christmas spirit and start the festive countdown with this gift of a concert from Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. A joyous blend of classic Christmas movie scores and soundtracks as magical as the films they belong to.
Relax with the BSO and top West End singer Laura Tebbutt for a seasonal selection box of themes from some of the most classic holiday films of all time, including It’s a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Home Alone, The Polar Express and Love Actually, enchantingly entwined with pieces from all round hits of the silver screen like Wicked, Aladdin, Harry Potter, Gremlins and Frozen.
This is a concert packed with holiday cheer, as exciting as the smell of a pine tree, overstuffed stockings and seeing Santa’s sooty footprints by the chimney. Celebrate Christmas just like they do in the movies!
