This Christmas concert promises to delight and inspire in equal measure: in baroque Naples, angels dance the tarantella; over in Spain, guitars strum and castanets snap; whilst in Germany, Bach’s rich harmonies warm the winter air. With singing angels, baffled shepherds and the devil shooting up into the air like a rocket, start your festive season with an evening of enchanting stories and world-class musicianship.
