Get into the Christmas spirit with ten of Europe's finest string players who will be performing a classical Christmas concert with a twist: alongside seasonal baroque favourites and popular carols, expect dazzling virtuosity in Leonid Desyatnikov's violin concerto arrangement of Astor Piazzolla's Winter and a jazzy rendition of Bach's Double Violin Concerto. Grab a drink and enjoy a festive concert to remember!
