About Einaudi’s Christmas Carols by Candlelight: The Snowman

Listed Under Christmas Events / Music Events / Family and Kids Events / Nights Out Events

Following their 5***** and sold-out show in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe,

"Matthew Shiel has ‘composed’ a most enchanting concert, relating amusing, enlightening stories to introduce each piece; his eloquent performance expresses a dramatic, emotional mood from sad and sorrowful to light-hearted and lyrical, oozing a joyful sense of romantic love." (5***** Edinburgh Guide)

"A ripping good yarn. Sim and Shiel both are masters of their crafts." (5***** Binge Fringe Magazine)

"Matthew Shiel shone" (4**** Three Weeks)

Moonlight Concert Productions have imagined a new Christmas show inspired by Ludovico Einaudi's atmospheric Snow Preludes for piano, Howard Blake's animated film score The Snowman (1982), and our great British tradition of Christmas carolling.

Usher Hall and Live Music Now Scotland Emerging Artists Ines Mayhew-Begg (soprano) and Matthew Shiel (piano) lead us on a winter's journey by candlelight - with enchanting storytelling, festive song, and Christmas carolling.

Mulled wine and mince pies will be served in the interval. Merry Christmas!

INTERVAL

Christmas Carolling (please join in!)

O come all ye faithful

God rest ye, merry Gentleman

In the bleak midwinter

The Holly and the Ivy

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Whilst humble shepherds watched their flocks

We three Kings of Orient are

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Joy to the World

In Dulci Jubilo

We wish you a merry Christmas

Silent Night
