An illustration of a snowman and a child floating through the air surrounded by snow.

The Mozart Symphony Orchestra returns for its annual performance of the timeless classics.

The Snowman, will be shown on the big screen with live symphony orchestra providing the soundtrack, which famously includes the song made so famous by Aled Jones: Walking in the Air.

The concert will also feature Britain’s favourite bear in Paddington Bear’s first concert – a charming piece for narrator and orchestra that sees the lovable scamp rescued from Paddington Station by The Brown Family and taken to a concert.
