The Gruffalo and The Snowman in ConcertJeune public

Now a regular highlight of Christmas in Cheltenham, the Mozart Symphony Orchestra returns to Cheltenham Town Hall, bringing their famous Christmas show from London for one day only! Get ready for the timeless classic, The Snowman, for which the film is shown on the big screen with a live symphony orchestra providing the soundtrack. 16-year-old Alice Mackenzie sings the aria made so famous by Aled Jones: ‘Walking in the Air’.

Following the huge success of The Gruffalo (composed for orchestra and narrator by Philip Mackenzie) at Cheltenham Town Hall last Christmas, it makes a welcome return alongside its sequel, The Gruffalo’s Child. Rather like Peter and the Wolf, each character in the tale is represented by a different instrument of the orchestra… what will the Gruffalo be?

This concert is the perfect antidote to panto and a wonderful Christmas treat for all the family.
