Christmas Spectacular with James Mayhew

Join award-winning children’s author and illustrator James Mayhew and de Havilland Philharmonic Orchestra for a dazzling concert of much-loved Christmas music!

• Coleridge-Taylor – Christmas Overture
• Rimsky-Korsakov – Christmas Eve Suite
• Prokofiev – Troika (Sleigh Ride)

As the orchestra perform these festive favourites, Mayhew paints his illustrations live before your very eyes, all in perfect synchronicity with the music. The perfect start to the Christmas season!

On the day, there will be opportunities to purchase children’s books by James Mayhew in the foyer and enter a charity raffle to win an original painting. James will also be signing books after each performance.
