ChamberMusicBox returns to St Cuthbert's for an evening of sublime 20th-century piano chamber music, juxtaposing Fauré's impassioned, but rarely performed, first Piano Quintet with Shostakovich's beloved masterpiece.

Join us for the fourth edition of our hugely popular annual Christmas Concert at St Cuthbert's, for which we are delighted to be teaming up with the church's outstanding professional choir directed by award-winning young conductor, Quintin Beer. Celebrating Christmas music both sacred and secular, this programme promises to entertain and enchant in equal measure.

Step into a vibrant musical dialogue that spans centuries and borders. From the elegance of Mozart and Haydn to the shimmering colours of Roussel and Ibert, from Bax’s haunting lyricism to Weinberg’s powerful intensity, this programme brings together a rich tapestry of European voices. Performed by ChamberMusicBox’s world-class musicians, these works interweave flute, strings, and harp in ever-shifting combinations, offering audiences a rare chance to experience chamber music as a living conversation across time and place.
