Mumbles A Cappella and the Mumbles A Cappella Youth Choir play their annual Christmas concert of classics and a cappella showstoppers at Brangwyn Hall.
Mumbles A Cappella are back at Brangwyn Hall on Sunday 20 December, with their A Christmas Spectacular taking the stage just before the holidays. It's become a bit of a local fixture — they return to the hall every year for this one, so if you've been to previous editions, you'll know the general shape of it.
The set works its way through the best-loved classics of the Christmas season, and they don't stop there: they mix in a range of contemporary and traditional a cappella showstoppers, with the adult choir and the youth choir sharing the singing. It's a full-voiced night, with the two choirs working together rather than taking separate slots.
On the bill alongside them are the Mumbles A Cappella Youth Choir and guest soloist Welsh soprano Madlen Forwood. Mumbles A Cappella is one of Swansea's leading choral ensembles, and they describe their repertoire as knowing no boundaries, which explains why the programme jumps from the familiar carols to more modern a cappella arrangements.
