Christmas in the Quad

Experience an enchanting evening of music under the stars at Christmas in the Quad, a cherished end-of-year tradition in the beautiful surrounds of St George’s College. This festive concert features soprano Emma Matthews, pianist Raymond Yong, violinist Paul Wright, and the West Coast Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sam Parry.

The program brings together classical favourites and seasonal highlights, from the effervescent Overture to Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss II and Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on Greensleeves, to beloved operatic and orchestral works including Gounod’s Je veux vivre, Puccini’s O mio babbino caro, and Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers. The evening also includes a selection of much-loved carols and festive favourites, alongside the warm lyricism of Morricone’s Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso.

Guests are welcome to bring their own food, low chairs, and picnic blankets, and relax in the picturesque College grounds as the sun sets. Doors open at 5:30 pm for a 7:00 pm concert, offering a memorable way to celebrate the festive season and the close of the year.
