FAMILY TEDDY CONCERT
Saturday, 7 December 2024
2:00 – 3:00PM
The most interactive, child-friendly (for ages 0 to 90), hilarious, and heartwarming family concerts you’ll ever come to.
YWAM Harpenden and the Kings Chamber Orchestra present the unpredictability and random fun ramp up to Christmas. Join families in an interactive all embracing romp through the Christmas story. With music by many of the greats from classical music, film music, and KCO’s original improvisations. The dad jokes may flow, touching thoughts may comfort, but most of all the music will delight, and we aim that all will feel the hope of the season. Bring your Teddies or soft toys to join in the action too, flying, dancing and maybe even sleeping!
“It was brilliant, fantastic and inspirational – my 5 year old son loved every note…. You have an amazing talent and an amazing way of reaching the children, and adults beautiful and moving and fun all in the same 50 minutes. CONGRATULATIONS!”
“…this outstanding professional orchestra gives the most original and exciting children`s concerts I have ever heard. Relaxed and informal, its imaginative programming is brilliantly presented-the “DIY” conducting was a real hit with my two children and they loved the way the musicians walked through the audience too. Way better than anything I have seen in Central London – a treat for the adults too!”
Helen Mansfield, Producer, BBC TV Classical Music

AFTERNOON & EVENING CONCERTS
Saturday, 7 December 2024
4:30 PM
7:30 PM
Kings Chamber Orchestra will delight audiences with romance, wonder and hope. With their unique humour and touching stories, music ranging from film and TV highlights to romantic classics, we anticipate tears and laughter.
The winter tour ‘Christmas Journey’ presents some of the most beautiful music. Don’t miss out on an afternoon of classical music in our candle-lit Chapel as the orchestra soothe your soul with their heavenly sounds.
KCO’s founder and conductor, Gerard Le Feuvre, will ensure you have some good laughs as he tells stories from his most unusual life as a professional cellist. This is a London based professional chamber orchestra of friends (but playing in Harpenden!) and they are not above some playful antics!
At times, you will be transported as the musicians move through the audience, improvising and creating celestial melodies. With Advent carols and poignant reflections from Gerard, this concert will truly be, as our regulars say, “when my Christmas really starts!”
