He said: “It’s a great thrill to be performing at The Anvil, one of the finest concert halls in the country, with a wonderful acoustic. We are excited to share the magic of Christmas at the Movies with a special concert celebrating a selection of brilliant film scores that have enchanted countless audiences over time.  

“With so many nostalgic and festive films out there, it’s been a challenge to curate a programme, but rest assured there will be something for everyone. We have pulled out all the stops to source music that in some cases has not seen the light of day since it was originally recorded for the film, so it’s an honour for us to give a couple of pieces a new lease of life. This will be a truly magical concert to remember.”

The Studio Orchestra is an acclaimed professional orchestra and comprises some of the finest freelance musicians in the UK.
