For one day only, direct from London, the Mozart Symphony Orchestra comes to Oxford’s Sheldonian Theatre for its famous performance of the timeless classic, The Snowman, for which the film is shown on the big screen with a live symphony orchestra providing the soundtrack. Alice Mackenzie sings the aria made so famous by Aled Jones: ‘Walking in the Air’.

Following the huge success of The Gruffalo (composed for orchestra and narrator by Philip Mackenzie) in London, Cheltenham and Bristol last Christmas, it makes a welcome return alongside its sequel, The Gruffalo’s Child. Rather like Peter and the Wolf, each character in the tale is represented by a different instrument of the orchestra… what will the Gruffalo be?
