A new Christmas tradition started in Oxford last year - the Mozart Symphony Orchestra gave it’s first Oxford performance of the timeless classic, The Snowman, for which the film is 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’. After three sell-out performances, they are back for 2026.
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 – at the Royal Albert Hall!
