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.
This performance will end at approximately 9pm, including a 30 minute interval.
Co-produced by the Barbican and BBC Singers

On the night
We're working hard to make this a high quality experience for everyone, whether you're with us live in the Hall or watching from home. Due to the technical requirements of streaming a live performance, if you're in the Hall you might notice cameras and operators are visible, and staging, lighting and sound levels might change.
Latecomers can not be admitted.
Ticket booking closes when the concert finishes. After this point if you have a ticket you can watch again for another 48 hours. If you don’t have a ticket, unfortunately you won’t be able to watch.
To watch on the night head to barbican.org.uk/broadcast
