NEW Sinfonia to perform Christmas peace concerts in aid of local refugee charity

Tickets for two Christmas peace concerts in aid of a Wrexham-based refugee charity can now be purchased in person.

Due to popular demand for the events at the Llangollen Pavilion Hall, on December 23, organisers have confirmed that tickets can be purchased from the Llangollen Tourist Information Centre as well as online.

The Christmas events are being presented in partnership by North Wales orchestra NEW Sinfonia and the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod

The concerts, at 12:30pm and 3:30pm, will raise money for a refugee charity based in Wrexham.

Each concert will culminate with a performance of the quintessential festive film, The Snowman, with the music performed live by NEW Sinfonia.

Robert Guy, from NEW Sinfonia said, “Tickets are selling fast but we had feedback that some people wanted to buy tickets in person. That’s why we are delighted that the Llangollen Tourist Information Centre have agreed to sell tickets for our Christmas event.

“These concerts are the talk of the town and there will be some fantastic surprises on Saturday, December 23.

“NEW Voices, our community choir, are already in full swing and loving rehearsals.

“The fact that refugees will be taking a lead role makes these concerts even more special just before Christmas.”

David Hennigan, a Board Member at the Llangollen Eisteddfod said, “Since we announced our Christmas Peace Concert with NEW Sinfonia and NEW Voices, with refugees taking the lead, the response has been incredible.

“People across Denbighshire told us they wanted the Llangollen Eisteddfod to bring back our Christmas Concerts and we are pleased that our partnership with NEW Sinfonia has allowed us to present these extra, special peace concerts.

“We are delighted to now be able to offer the chance to buy tickets in person thanks to our friends at the Llangollen Tourist Information Centre as well as online.”

Tickets are priced from £13-£21. Llangollen Tourist Information Centre is based at Y Capel, Castle Street, Llangollen LL20 8NU. It is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10am – 5pm. Tickets are also available from www.newsinfonia.org.uk
