Carols by Candlelight 10th December 2008 in Molesey

Mark the Christmas Season in a family celebration programme of innovative and traditional music. Surrey Brass, Concordia, St. Anne's School Choir join together once again for our traditional festive event that everyone will enjoy.

This concert has become an annual fixture for Surrey Brass, who partner with other performing organisations regularly to put on innovative and entertaining concerts with music ranging from Bach via a Mexican cantina to Star Wars.

The brass ensemble, formed in 2001, has gained a reputation for creativity, commissioning music to accompany silent films, and in 2007, a piece to commemorate Concorde, which they recorded during the summer. They are based at Reeds School, Cobham and in 2008 would like to to work more with charities and young people.

To complete the seasonal celebration, mulled wine and mince pies will be on sale at the interval!
