Hillingdon Philharmonic Orchestra - Christmas Concert

For their next performance the Hillingdon Philharmonic Orchestra invites you to an evening of Christmas music guaranteed to get you into the festive mood as the big day approaches. The concert will include favourite Christmas melodies, songs and carols with audience participation.

Christmas film music will also be featured with a selection from the soundtrack for The Polar Express and a medley of themes from other festive film favourites including Home alone, Miracle on 34th Street and The Nightmare before Christmas.

Music from The Snowman and Handel’s Messiah will also be performed, alongside arrangements of the 12 days of Christmas and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. In addition to the Orchestra’s festive offering, there will be performances given by the Oak Farm Junior and Oak Wood School choirs for this special evening of Christmas music.

The Christmas Concert will launch the 33rd season for the Hillingdon Philharmonic Orchestra which is now well established in the local area with over 60 registered members, having performed an incredibly wide and varied repertoire of works over the years. In addition to countless concerts at local venues throughout Hillingdon, the group has also performed at some of London’s most prestigious venues including the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Southwark Cathedral. In July 2011 the group celebrated 25 years of music making at the Cadogan Hall in Sloane Square.

The concert will be led by Lucy Cumming and conducted by the founder of the Orchestra, Peter J Williams. For further details see the Orchestra's website.
