The celebration of the magic, jubilation, fun and joie-de-vivre of seasonal music is brought to life by Bob Chilcott, the BBC Singers’s very own Principal Guest Conductor.

Sing your way into the spirit of the season, either with us or at home as we bring the Christmas magic into your living room this year.
