Ensure the perfect start to Christmas with two traditional concerts at the Brangwyn Hall

Nov. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- The festivities begin on Saturday 15 December with the 73rd annual performance of Handel's masterpiece, The Messiah, conducted by Alwyn Humphreys and accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra of Wales and Chorale.  The choir will be joined by soloists Ros Evans (Soprano), Kate Woolveridge (Mezzo-Soprano), Robyn Lyn (Tenor) and Gary Griffiths (Baritone). The concert begins at 7.30pm, with tickets priced at £13.

Alwyn Humphreys and the Chamber Orchestra of Wales and Chorale along with soloist Ros Evans return to the Brangwyn a week later with the Christmas Candlelight Concert featuring a selection of Christmas classics in an atmospheric candlelit setting on Saturday 22 December.  Concert goers will be able to enjoy a complementary glass of mulled wine and a mince pie.  The concert begins at 7.30pm, with tickets priced at £11.50.

Tracy Ellicott, Manager of the Brangwyn Hall said “Tickets are selling fast for both concerts and I would encourage people to book early to avoid disappointment and not miss out on what promises to be one of the highlights in the classical music calendar this year.”

Cllr Nick Bradley, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said, "The Brangwyn Hall is a fantastic classical music venue.  Both these concerts are popular inclusions in the Brangwyn’s December programme as they generate a great festive atmosphere. They are now part and parcel of the Christmas tradition in Swansea.”
