This Sunday 13 December at 3pm (GMT), it’s London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) and Chorus’ annual Christmas spectacular – from the couch, as it were.

LSO invites us to join in with ‘Sleigh Ride’, ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’ and ‘The First Nowell’, as well as some festive discoveries from around the world. Watch and join in on LSO’s website, YouTube Channel, or here on this page in the video above ☝️.

And don’t worry if you don’t know all the words – the orchestra has us covered with downloadable lyrics here on its website, and with a fun activity pack that includes colouring in and quizzes for young family members (oh go on, it’s Christmas – for all family members) to download here. Watch the video below to prepare for a Sunday’s singalong...

The spectacular Christmas concert you’ll be singing along with is conducted and presented by LSO choral director, Simon Halsey, and was pre-recorded at LSO St Luke’s – with no fewer than 130 musicians and singers performing in a COVID-secure environment.
