THE KEY CHRISTMAS CONCERT

 

Something old, something new – it all comes together for the Key Christmas Concert, delivered to you by the classy choir and orchestras of Peterborough Opera and City of Peterborough Symphony Orchestra joined by the enthusiastic voices of the children from Sacred Heart Primary School, Bretton.  Christmas isn’t Christmas without your favourite traditional carols and John Rutter’s beautiful Christmas songs, but here’s a chance to meet some bright favourites for the future, including Peace on Earth with a jazzy swing and the famous story of the Night before Christmas to the music of Philip Lane.  With an attractive Christmas Overture by Coleridge Taylor, this is a concert not to be missed.
