IN two back-to-back performances, The Orchestra of St John will play the concert version of The Snowman on December 17.
‘Walking In The Air’ and other catchy tunes from the adaptation of Raymond Briggs’ classic picture book will be played, with all proceeds going towards the Church and Friends of St John’s for their Spire Appeal.
A total of £300,000 is needed to rebuild the top section of the spire on Bromsgrove’s iconic and ancient church building.
Kevin Ward – Bromsgrove’s Town Crier – will bring the story to life as the narrator, and Astwood Bank Primary School children will sing some Disney and Christmas classics.
Richard Jenkinson, Conductor, said: “We are delighted to be back performing this much-loved fixture in the Orchestra’s calendar.
“How could it be Christmas without The Snowman? We look forward to seeing you there.”
Local Bromsgrove artist Tony Turpin created all posters for the event.
As well as the performance, there will be a chance to have a selfie with a giant inflatable snowman.
The first performance starts at 4.30pm and the second at 6.30pm.
Tickets are £8 for adults if booked in advance, and under-16s go free.
