It’s 25 years since The Snowman first delighted family audiences in the cinema. And these days a family Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without the Ulster Orchestra’s annual Snowman concert.
The magical animated film will be shown on the big screen in the Waterfront Hall and the unforgettable music, including Walking in the Air, will be performed live on stage by the Ulster Orchestra in a special one-hour concert, sponsored by Templeton Robinson.
Most people know the story. One winter morning little James wakes up to find that everything outside has turned snow-white. Overjoyed, he rushes downstairs and into the garden, where he begins to build a snowman. James sleeps fitfully, and at midnight he wakes up and decides to check on his snowman. He opens the back door ... he can't believe his eyes!
The snowman has come to life! James finds himself face to face with a smiling snowman, who with a polite doff of his hat introduces himself – the beginning of a magical friendship and marvellous adventure.
Beth Robinson of sponsors, Templeton Robinson, said: “We’re delighted to work with the Ulster Orchestra in delivering this marvellous concert which will bring so much joy to so many this Christmas. It gives us particular pleasure to be associated in this the film’s 25th year. Roll on 8 December!.”
Join the Ulster Orchestra and the Snowman for their wintry adventures on Saturday 8 December in the Waterfront Hall, Belfast, but hurry – tickets are disappearing as quickly as snow off a ditch! -- www.ulster-orchestra.org.uk
