The Gruffalo and The Snowman in Concert
For one day only the Mozart Symphony Orchestra will perform its popular Christmas concert in Cheltenham Town Hall, fresh from its appearance in London.
On Tuesday 23rd December the orchestra will perform the soundtrack to Raymond Briggs’ classic film ‘The Snowman’ at Cheltenham Town Hall, with the movie simultaneously being shown on the big screen. Sixteen year old Alice Mackenzie makes her eighth appearance with the orchestra singing the song ‘Walking in the Air’, which was made so famous by Aled Jones 40 years ago!
Audiences have often commented on how special it is to watch the film as a live orchestra provides the soundtrack, while The Times newspaper wrote that 'You would be hard pushed to find a more magical Christmas experience'.
The programme will also feature The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child for narrator and orchestra.
The Gruffalo and The Snowman in concert is the ideal Christmas treat for all the family.
Tickets are available from Cheltenham Town Hall box office: cheltenhamtownhall.org.uk or on 01242 528764. There are two performances on Tuesday 23rd December at 1.30pm and 4.30pm. The shows last approximately one and a half hours (including an interval during which children may just get an ice cream!).
