Usher Hall and Live Music Now Scotland Emerging Artists Ines Mayhew-Begg (soprano) and Matthew Shiel (piano) lead us on a winter's journey by candlelight - with enchanting storytelling, festive song, and Christmas carolling.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Carolling (please join in!)
O come all ye faithful
God rest ye, merry Gentleman
In the bleak midwinter
The Holly and the Ivy

We three Kings of Orient are
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Joy to the World
In Dulci Jubilo
We wish you a merry Christmas
Silent Night
