For their Christmas concert, the London Medical Orchestra are teaming up with the Barnet Band to present a gala of well-known musical pictures, dances and tales for all ages following their sell-out concerts earlier in the year.

This will be an enjoyable evening for the whole family, packed full of well-known winter classics for orchestra.

The musical images of Debussy's Children's Corner Suite, originally composed for piano, are cast in seasonal orchestral colours in Caplet's arrangements: the 'Serenade for the doll', 'The snow is dancing' and 'The little shepherd' lead up to the famous 'Golliwogg's cake walk'.

This is followed by Saint-Saëns's famous Danse macabre, with its dancing skeletons!

From France to Russia: the well-spun stories of Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé Suite never fail to spark the imagination. The Barnet Band will be playing music from the Snowman and the popular 'On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss' by Holsinger, and the band and orchestra combine in Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, providing a fitting climax to the evening.

One not to be missed..... and if that is not enough, there will be carols to be sung, and mulled wine and mince pies!
