The Full Works Concert

There’s no point in holding back any more: it’s now well and truly the season of Christmas music. And things don’t get much more Christmassy than this

Full Works Concert, which opens with a rendition of Adam Saunders’s The Twelve Days of Christmas, narrated by Joanna Lumley. Next, Jane Jones introduces a selection of six Christmas letters written by composers, including Mendelssohn, Britten, and Prokofiev, along with music comprising Philip Lane’s Old Christmas Music and a jolly brass arrangement of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.
