Following their 5***** and sold-out show in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe,
"Matthew Shiel has ‘composed’ a most enchanting concert" (5***** Edinburgh Guide)
"A ripping good yarn. Sim and Shiel both are masters of their crafts." (5***** Binge Fringe Magazine)
"Matthew Shiel shone" (4****Three Weeks)
Moonlight Concert Productions have imagined a new Christmas show inspired by Ludovico Einaudi's atmospheric Snow Preludes for piano, Howard Blake's animated film score The Snowman (1982), and our great British tradition of Christmas carolling.
Usher Hall and Live Music Now Scotland Emerging Artists Ines Mayhew-Begg (soprano) and Matthew Shiel (piano) lead us on a winter's journey by candlelight - with enchanting storytelling, festive song, and Christmas carolling.
Merry Christmas!

INTERVAL
Christmas Carolling (please join in!)
O come all ye faithful
God rest ye, merry Gentleman
In the bleak midwinter
The Holly and the Ivy
O Little Town of Bethlehem

We three Kings of Orient are
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Joy to the World
In Dulci Jubilo
We wish you a merry Christmas
Silent Night
