Upon a Winter's Night brings together festive music from many traditions and centuries.
Medieval carols and familiar Christmas melodies sit alongside baroque masterpieces and contemporary meditations, creating a programme rich in atmosphere and contrast.
Debussy's Footprints in the Snow and Bach's Prelude offer moments of quiet winter stillness, while Corelli's Christmas Concerto brings warmth and seasonal brilliance. Traditional songs and wassails mingle with folk-inspired improvisations and original compositions, weaving together old and new in a gathering that captures the spirit, mystery and quiet joy of the season.
