Chappell Paddington Bear’s First Concert
Blake The Snowman (with film)
Performers
Alice Mackenzie soprano
Philip Mackenzie narrator/conductor
Mozart Symphony Orchestra
Malcolm Forbes-Peckham conductor
A regular highlight of Christmas in Chelsea, the Mozart Symphony Orchestra returns for its annual performance of the timeless classic, The Snowman, for which the film is shown on the big screen with live symphony orchestra providing the soundtrack, which famously includes the song made so famous by Aled Jones: ‘Walking in the Air’.
The concert also features Britain’s favourite bear in Paddington Bear’s First Concert – a charming piece for narrator and orchestra that sees the lovable scamp rescued from Paddington station by the Brown family and taken to a live concert!
This concert is the perfect antidote to panto and a wonderful Christmas treat for all the family.
