The City of Glasgow Chorus present their annual festive extravaganza Christmas Cracker, a mix of traditional and modern Christmas music for all the family.
The City of Glasgow Chorus are back at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Sunday 20 December, with their annual festive concert Christmas Cracker. It's a family affair, and if you've been before, you'll know the drill: it's a mix of traditional and modern Christmas music, and the audience is invited to sing along throughout. It's as much about joining in as it is about listening.
On stage, the chorus is conducted by Paul Keohone and accompanied by the City of Glasgow Concert Orchestra, so you've got a full orchestral sound backing the voices rather than just a piano or a small ensemble. The set draws from both the old and the new — the traditional carols and hymns that usually anchor these things, alongside more modern festive numbers. The singalong element is a big part of it, so it's a good one to bring the kids along to.

It's a Sunday afternoon slot, which makes it an easy one to fit in around the Christmas rush. The concert starts at 3:00 PM at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, 2 Sauchiehall Street, G2 3NY, right in the city centre. If you're planning to go, it's worth getting your tickets sorted early — the chorus returns to the hall every year for this, and it's a popular spot for families to gather before the holiday break properly kicks in.
