The Big Christmas Wind Orchestra and Choir is inviting everyone to join their largest outdoor celebration of Christmas carols and festive music. Taking place on Sunday 10th December from 1pm onwards, Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross will be the stunning festive backdrop for the performance.
Adam Funnell, event coordinator, said: “Do you have an instrument that’s sat in the cupboard gathering dust for too long? Do you love to sing around the house or in the shower, and wish to join a bigger group? Then we’d love for you to come and join our huge Christmas performance! Everyone is welcome to participate in this special once-a-year event, full of well known carols and Christmas songs.”
The performance will be lead by musical director Matthew Hardy, with no experience or rehearsal necessary. Over 300 musicians will come together for the occasion and play wind, brass or percussion instruments or sing. All the event details can be found online at https://www.bigchristmaswindorchestra.org and it’s free to participate.
Making Music, an organisation which works to empower everyone into leisure time music making, will provide information to anyone inspired by the event.
Funnell concluded: “This is a perfect opportunity to reignite the musical spirit in busy people who don’t currently commit to a regular music group. Simply register in advance, then bring your instrument or just your voice, and bring some musical magic into your Christmas celebrations this year.”
