We’re delighted to welcome renowned presenter, composer and author Zeb Soanes from Classic FM who will be both hosting and narrating the story of everyone’s favourite bear in Paddington Bear’s First Concert! The concert also includes the winning performances of the festival’s 2025 Young Composers Competition. An uplifting event not to be missed.

Elgar Festival 2025 - Elgar For Everyone Family Concert

Worcester Cathedral

A regular highlight of Christmas in Chelsea, the Mozart Symphony Orchestra returns for its annual performance of the timeless classic, The Snowman, for which the film is shown on the big screen with live symphony orchestra providing the soundtrack, which famously includes the song made so famous by Aled Jones: ‘Walking in the Air’.

The concert also features Britain’s favourite bear in Paddington Bear’s First Concert – a charming piece for narrator and orchestra that sees the lovable scamp rescued from Paddington station by the Brown family and taken to a live concert!

This concert is the perfect antidote to panto and a wonderful Christmas treat for all the family.
