About This Event

King of Christmas Bob Chilcott conducts the BBC Singers with special guests Jess Gillam and Katie Melua for a perfect concert to sing in the festive season.

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. Singer Katie Melua and saxophonist Jess Gillam add their touch of Christmas sparkle into the mix with solo sets. 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.

Recorded at the Barbican in London on 15 December.
