It鈥檚 the most wonderful time of the year... and what better way to start your festive celebrations than with a concert of epic movie music on the weekend before Christmas. Whether it鈥檚 a heart-warming dose of nostalgia courtesy of John Williams, the thrill of a Disney classic, or a toe-tapping tune from Hollywood鈥檚 Golden Age, let the 麻豆社 SSO, West End star Kelly Mathieson and host Jamie MacDougall bring the magic of the big screen to life. In its third year at the Usher Hall, this festive family event sells like hot cakes (or Christmas cookies!), so book early to secure the best seats.
