Joined once again by the triumphant Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the RSNO Youth Choruses and the Manor School of Ballet, this promises to get your festive season off to a (ski!) jumping start.
Often the first highlight of families’ festive calendars, CCC have the winning formula: the triumphant orchestra teamed with the exuberant choir, with a sprinkling of magical ballet, and popular singalongs that everyone can join in with. Not only does CCC offer gold-medal standard performances, but it is also affordable for families – which, at this costly time of year, is incredibly important to the organisation.
This year, the elves (the ever-spirited RSNO!) are in a competitive frenzy: which team will be the champions of The Elf Games? There will be the traditional on-stage escapades (and most likely a snowball fight!) to entertain the family. All of this accompanied by a perfectly curated programme which features the music of Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov alongside popular classics such as ‘Mele Kalikimaka’ and the ever-popular Ski Sunday theme tune, not forgetting the annual festive audience singalong.
For those families looking for a high-spirited and exhilarating start to the festive season, The Elf Games will deliver. Here’s what the audience at last year’s The Night Before Christmas thought:
“We all enjoyed this and was a highlight of our Christmas this year! My 5 year old was dancing away. We’ll done everyone!”
“Thanks to Owen and team for those amazing performance, it definitely lifted our Christmas spirits and is part of our family tradition.”
“Fantastic show, really made us feel the spirit of Christmas. The musicians are incredible and we love how CCC makes Classical music interesting, light and entertaining for children (and us adults too!) thank you!”
Elf Games will come to the following venues next month and final tickets are on sale now via www.childrensclassicconcerts.co.uk
3 December, 3pm - Usher Hall, Edinburgh
(with BSL Interpretation)
9 December, 1pm & 3.30pm - Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
