7.45pm, Saturday 1st December 2018
Evans Theatre, Wilmslow Leisure Centre
There’s one event in the year which is guaranteed to fill the Evans Theatre in Wilmslow Leisure Centre – the Wilmslow Symphony Orchestra’s Christmas Concert.
It’s a wonderful seasonal bash, with classical favourites and Christmas specials and carols for audience and orchestra.
The concert begins in festive mood, with the Johann Strauss’s Fledermaus Overture, and there’s a selection of favourite Tchaikovsky pieces, which include the 1812 Overture and the Waltz from Eugene Onegin.
Over the years we’ve built up our own special Christmas favourites, and here they are again: Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, the ‘Merry Jazzed-Up Christmas’ by our principal trombone Gareth Brown, and Christmas carols you can join in with – expertly arranged by our clarinettist Geoff Thomason.
And if this doesn’t whet your appetite, then maybe our Christmas raffle will, with lots of prizes, including a Christmas hamper!
The conductor will be our old friend Juan Ortuño, a favourite with Wilmslow audiences, and the guest leader will be Madeleine Fitzgerald.
As always, the concert will be in the Evans Theatre in Wilmslow Leisure Centre – which means free parking, good disabled access, and good visibility for the audience.
The concert takes place at 7.45pm on Saturday 1st December 2018.
Tickets cost £12 (concessions £10, under 18s £2) and can be bought at the door, from the ticket secretary on 01925 756 144 or through the Wilmslow Symphony Orchestra website www.wilmsloworchestra.co.uk.
