A Nutcracker Christmas by Candlelight

As the days grow shorter and winter draws in, join the acclaimed Bristol Ensemble for a candlelit evening of warmth, elegance and storytelling through music.

At the heart of the programme is a specially arranged performance of Tchaikovsky’s beloved Nutcracker Suite, whose enchanting melodies have become synonymous with Christmas. From the graceful Waltz of the Flowers and the sparkling Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to the exhilarating Russian dance Trepak, this timeless masterpiece captures all the wonder, imagination and joy of the festive season.

Complementing this seasonal favourite is a beautifully curated programme for string orchestra, from cherished Christmas classics to evocative works inspired by the spirit of winter. Performed by candlelight, this is an intimate evening of exceptional live music that celebrates the magic of Christmas in all its warmth and splendour!
