The Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra will take over on the 15 December when they team up with the choir of New College to perform Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. We end our celebration in fine style with Carols for All performed by the renowned Oxford Bach Choir; always a favourite this family concert will leave everyone infused with the festive spirit.
