BBC NOW brings the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Euan Shields, to Brangwyn Hall with Christmas pieces.
BBC NOW brings the BBC National Orchestra of Wales back to Brangwyn Hall on Thursday 17 December for The Magic of Christmas. It's a full orchestra on stage, conducted by Euan Shields, so it's a big night rather than a small chamber ensemble.
The concert is part of a wider season of live music that BBC NOW is running in Swansea, with The Magic of Christmas as one of the dates. The programming is built around world-renowned musicians and pieces chosen to move and delight audiences of all ages, which is a fair way of saying it's aimed at families and anyone who wants a festive evening out rather than a niche classical recital. If you're taking the kids, it's the kind of thing that works for them too.
Having the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in the city is a good thing in itself, and Brangwyn Hall is the right room for it. The whole evening is presented by BBC NOW, and the date falls just before the Christmas break, so it's an easy one to fit in before things get too hectic. If you've been following the rest of the season, this is one of the highlights.
