About the concert

Held in an intimate chamber setting, the programme gathers the Tchaikovsky music that has become synonymous with Christmas: the glittering dances of The Nutcracker, the sweeping romance of Sleeping Beauty and the timeless elegance of Swan Lake. Mystery Ensemble, who bring Tim Burton's film scores to the same stage on 31 October, play it as a winter fairy tale for classical music lovers and anyone after something special for the season.
